Summary:

Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations.

The programme offers awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world to study for a master’s degree in any subject at any UK university.

Chevening Scholarships are aimed at international postgraduates with high leadership potential, enabling them to study a Masters at a British university and develop useful professional/academic networks.

These connections can then be used to build a strong relationship with the UK and make a positive impact in your home country.

Benefits:

Master’s courses in the UK typically last for one year, which is shorter than in many other countries.
Successful candidates get the following;
- Full payment of Master's tuition fees.
- Payment of travel to and from the UK
- Payment of visa application fees
- A monthly living allowance (stipend) for accommodation and expenses – this amount will be confirmed in your acceptance letter and will be higher if you’re studying in London

You may also receive an ‘events travel top-up allowance’ to contribute towards the cost of travelling to any mandatory Chevening events, which are usually held in London.

Eligibilities:

To be considered for the Chevening Scholarship Award, you must:

Be a citizen of an eligible Chevening country
Hold an undergraduate degree equivalent to a UK 2.1 (‘upper second-class honours’).
Have two years’ work experience.
Have an unconditional offer for a Master's at a UK university
Have completed all components of an undergraduate degree that will enable you to gain entry onto a postgraduate programme at a UK university by the time you submit your application.
