The Commonwealth Entrepreneurship Fellowship (CEF)
The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) is seeking to find a Delivery Partner to develop and administer the Commonwealth Entrepreneurship Fellowship (CEF), a new programme designed to generate jobs and economic growth in the Commonwealth. The programme will run in financial years 2024/25 and 2025/26 and will serve as a pilot scheme for a future mainstreamed CSC programme. A total of £300,000 (inclusive of all taxes) is available for the Delivery Partner per year, coming to a total of £600,000 (inclusive of all taxes) for the pilot period.
Partners must be either a publicly funded organisation (including public bodies, universities, research institutions, local government departments and NHS Trusts) or a Charity (registered with the Charities Commission) and be based in the UK to be eligible to apply.
The invitation to tender will be issued in August 2024, with the start date for the first cohort to be no later March 2025. Subsequent iterations will also ideally follow this timeline. Any questions should be directed to the CSC Policy Team at: susie.burpee@cscuk.org.uk
