The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) invites applications from Canadian citizens for the 2013–14 United Kingdom Commonwealth Scholarship Plan.

Two types of doctoral awards are offered for applicants in any discipline:

• 12-36 months support toward a full-time doctoral program at an eligible UK university (doctoral award)
• 12 months support for research in the UK toward completion of a doctoral program at a Canadian university (split-site doctoral award).

The award includes:

• airfare to the UK at a student or other approved rate by the most direct and economical route and return airfare upon completion of the scholarship;
• approved tuition and examination fees; a personal maintenance allowance of £917 per month (£1134 per month for those studying at institutions in the London Metropolitan area);
  
• a grant toward the expenses for preparing a thesis or dissertation, where applicable;
  
• a grant for preapproved travel expenses for study purposes within the UK;
  
• a grant towards fieldwork expenses outside the UK, where a case has been made for its necessity. This shall not exceed the cost of one economy class return airfare to the fieldwork location; a paid mid-term airfare back to Canada for scholars on three-year doctoral awards;
  

This scholarship is tenable in the United Kingdom from October 2013
