Alumni
Over 34,000 Commonwealth Scholars and Fellows have been funded by the UK government since 1959. This thriving global community includes Commonwealth Alumni working across a range of sectors and fields, effecting real change and development impact at a local, national and international level.
Your alumni network
You are a Commonwealth Scholar for life and as an alumnus, your connection with the global Commonwealth Scholarships community doesn’t end with your studies. Through the alumni network, you can get involved in a range of opportunities, such as:
- Building meaningful connections with alumni in your home country and around the world: share experiences, collaborate on initiatives, and grow your network.
- Taking the lead in alumni events: volunteer to organise, host, or speak at gatherings, workshops, and online sessions, ensuring each event reflects the interests and expertise of the community.
- Championing your local alumni association: volunteer to coordinate local activities, support new members, or facilitate knowledge sharing within your country and region.
- Showcasing your work and research: contribute to newsletters, webinars, and forums, giving others a chance to learn from your journey.
- Supporting the Commonwealth Scholarships community: share your insights as a mentor or offer your professional skills to support the future of the CSC.
The Commonwealth Scholarships Alumni Network is what you make it. By taking an active role and volunteering your time and talents, you are shaping a community that drives positive change across the globe.
