According to the university, the objective of the scholarship is to positively impact the communities served by its activities and promote the “common good”.
Who can apply?
Brazilian students who have already completed (or are about to complete) their degree can apply for scholarships. However, these Masters Scholarships in the UK are aimed at students who have already been accepted by Glasgow Caledonian University for their desired Masters programme.

Apart from these documents, some specific courses have additional requirements. It is important to check this on the page of the master’s course you want to take before starting the process.
