Applications are now open for 2020-2021 Chevening Scholarship and some Chevening Fellowships.
Chevening Scholarships are the United Kingdom (UK) Government’s global scholarship program, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations.
Chevening offers a unique opportunity for future influencers, leaders, and decision-makers from all over the world to develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience United Kingdom culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK.
The programme offers awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the globe to study for a master’s degree in any subject at any UK university.
The significance of the Chevening scholarship scheme rests on its large scope – approximately 700 scholarships are awarded each year to students from more than 110 countries, allowing students from developing countries to access British tertiary education institutions, some of which are of a very high standard as determined by international rankings.
The most popular destinations for the Chevening Scholars to study in 2011 were the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, University of Bath, the London School of Economics & Political Science, University College London, and Edinburgh, University of Nottingham and King’s College London.
