Hello scholars!

Seeing that the application for the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship opens up in a few days, it will be great to get active on this thread and support each other.

Wishing everyone all the best :smile:

I am a dual national so I plan to apply through both cannon collins and my government. Only issue is I'm struggling to log on and can't find a third reference.. So frustrating.

You havent applied yet? I thought yhe deadline for applications is this friday? You can start your application and submit. You have a chance to change your references.
I have done the application just haven't submitted.. I think I may be able to convince one of my lecturers to submit something last minute..

Yeah. Only one of my referees have submited and i still have to keep reminding the remaining two. Its a struggle.
Sucks man, sorry... You only need two in by friday. Hopefully one will come through in time.
May I ask what universities you're applying to and where you from?

You got great offers. Atleast you will apply in 2 countries therefore increasing your chances.
But that's if I can get the commonwealth application to open 😭

What do u mean it wont open? Try writting an email and ask for help. If you have forgotten your password try clicking on forgotten password. If it says form cant be found just click ok and try again
I can log in but it says the servers are busy. Think there are loads of people online trying to submit. I'll email in the morning if I still can't get through. I was going to submit last night but wanted to read over what I wrote with fresh eyes, but it's been a hassle..

Oh alright. Yes i bet the servers are busy with everybody trying to submit. But dont worry about it..it will work out somehow....
Okay, just submitted for both. At this time the traffic must be minimal because I had no problems navigating the application process..
