The first studentship for UK-registered student has a value of £4,000.
The second studentship for Commonwealth students to travel to the UK has a value of £8,000.

The first studentship is open to registered PhD students from UK universities, who are resident in the UK at the time of applying for the award, although not necessarily UK citizens.
The second is open to registered PhD students from ACU member universities anywhere in the Commonwealth, and to Chevening and Commonwealth Scholarship alumni who are PhD students at any Commonwealth university outside the UK, who wish to travel to a UK university for their period of research, before returning to complete their PhD at their home university.
Chevening alumni would need to wait at least two years after the end of their Chevening award before applying for a Routledge/Round Table Commonwealth Studentship, in order to satisfy the criteria for the Chevening award.
Research should fall within the broad range of humanities and social sciences disciplines.

Eligible Regions: ACU (The Association of Commonwealth Universities) Members
