Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships: supporting the next generation to solve global challenges
Higher education is transformative – it changes people’s lives, and enables them to change the lives of others around them.
To mark the 60th anniversary of education cooperation in the Commonwealth, the 60th anniversary of the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan, and the 10th anniversary of the Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships scheme, the ACU is sharing stories of how we have made an impact on the lives of individuals, communities and societies through higher education.
Here, Margaret McDonald and Simon Kiongo share their experiences as Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholars and how these scholarships have helped shape their crucial work solving global challenges.
