Deadline: October 14, 2026

Applications are open for the King’s Commonwealth Fellowship (KCFP) Programme Undergraduate Fellowships 2026-2027. Commonwealth Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are on the frontline of climate change and face growing demand for skilled professionals in sectors critical to national development.

The King’s Commonwealth Fellowship Programme (KCFP) Undergraduate Fellowships support talented students to study at the KCFP Host Universities within their home country or region, helping to build the skills, knowledge and leadership needed to strengthen communities, improve essential services and drive sustainable development.

By investing in the next generation of professionals across education, engineering, health and sustainable tourism, the programme aims to strengthen local capacity, help meet medium-term skills shortages and create opportunities for young people to contribute to the long-term prosperity and resilience of their countries. Through a combination of financial support, professional development opportunities and a strong alumni network, Fellows will be empowered to build careers that serve their island communities and contribute to sustainable national development.
