Announcements
The Commonwealth Scholarship Fund and the Foreign Office’s Chevening Scholarship Fund have recently announced that they will jointly pay for five new scholarships for candidates from African Commonwealth countries to study on the MSt in International Human Rights Law, starting September 2012. The awards are intended for human rights advocates from African Commonwealth countries who would be unable, without assistance, to take up their place on the course. They provide course and college fees at the University of Oxford over two years, a stipend to cover living costs and return air travel from the scholar’s home country for each residential session.
