Selection process

  • Each year, the CSC invites selected nominating bodies to submit a specific number of nominations. The deadline for nominating bodies to submit nominations to the CSC is 17 December 2015.

  • The CSC invites around three times more nominations than fellowships available – therefore, nominated candidates are not guaranteed to be awarded a fellowship.

  • Each nominated candidate’s application is first considered by a member of the CSC’s panel of advisers with expertise in the subject area concerned, and then by the CSC’s selection committee in competition with other candidates.


Applications are considered according to the following selection criteria:

  • Academic merit of the candidate

  • Quality of the proposal

  • Potential impact of the work on the development of the candidate’s home country
