Chevening Scholarships

Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s international scholarship program. Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) and partner organisations, they offer awards to study in the UK for one year on a fully funded master’s degree course.

Chevening Scholarships are open to outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world. They are looking for people who have the passion, ideas, and influence to provide the solutions and leadership needed to create a better future.

The scholarships are fully funded, which means that they cover the following costs:

• University tuition fees
• A monthly stipend to cover living expenses
• Travel costs to and from the UK
• An arrival allowance
• A homeward departure allowance
• The cost of one visa application
• A travel grant to attend Chevening events in the UK

Chevening Scholarships are highly competitive. Only 2-3% of applicants are successful. However, if you are selected, you will have the opportunity to:

• Study at one of the UK’s world-class universities
• Network with other emerging leaders from around the world
• Experience UK culture and society
• Build lasting positive relationships with the UK

Chevening Scholarships are a great opportunity to develop your skills, make lifelong friends, and create positive, lasting change. If you are an emerging leader with the passion and vision to make a difference in the world, then you should consider applying for a Chevening Scholarship.
