Last Week to Apply for the Chevening Scholarship Program in the UK

Chevening is a global scholarship programme from the UK government that offers future leaders with a unique opportunity to study in the UK. These scholarships are awarded to outstanding professionals from all over the world to pursue a one-year master’s degree in any subject at any UK university.

The scholarship is fully-funded which will free you from any worries about expenses and will give you the opportunity to fully focus on achieving new goals and moving forward in your professional life.

What is included in the scholarship?

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

Eligibility Criteria

• Be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country
• Return to your country of citizenship for a minimum of two years after your award has ended
• Have an undergraduate degree that will enable you to gain entry onto a postgraduate programme at a UK university. This is typically equivalent to an upper second-class 2:1 honors degree in the UK.
• Have at least two years’ work experience (this may be up to five years for fellowship programmes, so please refer to your country page for further details)
• Apply to three different eligible UK university courses and have received an unconditional offer from one of these choices by 12 July 2018
