As a Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK recipient I would want to share the following message with my friends ..Please do apply in case u r interested. ..........................................................Toufique Dear Commonwealth Scholars
I work for the UK Commonwealth Scholarship Commission as the Senior Alumni Engagement Officer. I hope your distance learning course is going well and you are enjoying your studies. I am aware it could be a number of years before your scholarship/course finishes however I wanted to get in touch to let you know about our alumni network. On completion of your award you will automatically be signed up as a Commonwealth alumnus and be joining a community of more than 26,000 former Commonwealth Scholars and Fellows around the world. Previous Commonwealth Scholars include current Governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Saint Lucia the Honourable Kenny Anthony, the current speaker of the Bangladesh Parliament Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, Nobel prize winner Dr Elizabeth Helen Blackburn and many more!
As a Commonwealth alumnus you will receive our twice yearly alumni magazine in addition to being invited to various overseas events and networking receptions. We also hope you will act as brand ambassadors for the scheme and help us advertise and recruit the next generation of the best and brightest from your country. Remember applications are currently open for Masters Shared Scholarships, so don’t forget to let colleagues, friends and family know! http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/.../shared.../info-candidates/
More information about upcoming overseas events can be seen at - http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/calendar/ with more country events being added soon.
Hopefully you are also already following us on social media. If you’re not a member of our LinkedIn group where we post regular items of interest to scholars and alumni, please reply to this email and I can send you an invitation to join as the group is ‘closed’ and limited to only those who have/had a Commonwealth Scholarship.
