Do not write to the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) in London, as they cannot allocate individual scholarships. Contact the Commonwealth Scholarship Agency in your own country. If you are already in the UK, the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) can help you with general information concerning the scheme, but it cannot issue application forms to international students.
