CIAPS Announces Commonwealth Scholarship for Postgraduate Professional Studies

The Centre for International, Advanced and Professional Studies (CIAPS) has announced a scholarship scheme for the 2019 Postgraduate Commonwealth students. The Centre Director, Professor Anthony Kila in a statement said there are a total of 50 scholarships available worth a total of $50,000, adding that each successful applicant can receive up to a thousand dollars to pay his/her tuition fees at CIAPS for the duration of the postgraduate professional study.

According to the statement, “the CIAPS Commonwealth scholarships are part of the new CIAPS scholars’ scholarship programmes, which will directly benefit students entering postgraduate professional education in July 2019.”

He said these scholarships are funded by individuals and corporations who like CIAPS, are dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, learning and understanding in the service of society.

“Our aim is to identify and help students who are pursuing higher learning so that they can use the skills acquired in playing a part in making their societies and the world a better place.

“Students will be selected on the basis of a test consisting of a personal statement and interview. A good personal statement must not exceed 1,000 words and it will be a chance to tell us about yourself, why you think you deserve this scholarship and how you think it will help you serve yourself and society once you graduate,” he said.

For eligibility, students must be aged 22 to 30 with a degree or equivalent and must have graduated with a minimum of 2.2 or equivalent GPA; have a desire to study for international professional courses that can lead to creation of jobs and wealth; and be ready to commence study by July 6, 2019.
