Two Medic to Medic graduates were awarded prestigious Commonwealth Scholarships to study full time in the UK during the 2018-19 academic year.
This prestigious and historic scholarship is awarded to future innovators and leaders, particularly to those from disadvantaged backgrounds who would not otherwise be able to fund postgraduate study. These merit-based scholarships are awarded to those who display outstanding potential to contribute to the needs of their home countries. Find out more here and here.
