British Chevening Scholarships

Chevening scholarships provide access to high-quality education for scholars to go to the UK to learn new skills. If you want to apply for a scholarship, you will have to contact the British Embassy/High Commission or The British Council in the country of which you are a citizen. As the program is so diverse and far-reaching there isn’t a single timetable for applications and so it is important to check with the local office when the deadline for applications in your country is. Chevening scholars must study in the UK for at least 3-months. Most scholars already have a first degree and the majority study for postgraduate degrees particularly Masters courses. However some scholars cannot spare that much time away from their careers and applications for shorter vocational courses as long as they are adequately challenging and relevant. Undergraduate courses are seldom funded and normally PhD’s and MPhil’s are considered only when there is a co-funding partner. Refer to the country page of the country you will be applying to for further definitive advice on priority subjects. ***Visit website for the most current information.***
