Commonwealth Exchange Scholarship, presented through Scholars Without Borders, promotes postgraduate study and academic exchange among citizens of Commonwealth nations. The organisation says it works with participating members of the World Chambers Federation and partners across 56 Commonwealth countries, with the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia among its principal study destinations. Its stated mission is to expand educational opportunity, particularly for people from developing countries, while encouraging research collaboration, cultural understanding and academic excellence.

Its programmes include fully funded opportunities for Master’s and PhD study, covering options such as international university placements, UK-based study, distance learning, split-site doctoral research and professional fellowships. Depending on the award, support may include tuition, living costs, travel and arrival expenses. The site features the Commonwealth Exchange Scholarship, Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarship, Commonwealth Shared Scholarship, High-Income PhD and Split-site Scholarships, Distance Learning Scholarship, and Professional Fellowships. These awards are associated with funders and partners including the CESOC Partner Network, CSFP Endowment Fund, UK Department for Education and UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
