In celebration of the centenary of The Round Table and the 60th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth, Round Table Commonwealth Awards for Young Scholars will be awarded to six students from Commonwealth countries studying at a UK University in the academic year 2008-9. Each student will undertake a 3 week study visit to a Commonwealth country in the summer of 2009 as part of his or her existing academic research projects (either undergraduate or postgraduate). On their return, scholars will write up their research into an article for publication in The Round Table and disseminate their findings through presentations to other university students.
