UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Scholarship

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) supports international development and is associated with a range of UK government funding initiatives. This Scholarship Union archive gathers information about FCDO scholarships and related study opportunities for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Depending on the award, opportunities may support study in the UK or address development priorities in eligible countries. Funding arrangements, eligible courses, applicant requirements and award benefits differ, so check the official scholarship provider’s guidance before making plans. Review each opportunity’s nationality and residency rules, academic criteria, English-language requirements, funding coverage and application deadline. Some awards may require applicants to demonstrate leadership, professional goals or a commitment to contribute to their home country after study. Use the linked articles to understand available options and prepare an application, but confirm all current details with the official source. Scholarship availability and application dates can change between academic years; an archived listing does not guarantee that applications are open in 2026.
