Speaking during the pre-departure event,the British High Commissioner to Cameroon, H.E. Brian Olley said
“The Chevening programme is a key part of our work to further deepen the strong cultural and educational ties between our country and the sub-region. I encourage you scholars to return to Cameroon after your pursuing courses and bring your contribution to the development of Cameroon”.

The scholarships are awarded to outstanding future leaders to pursue a one-year master’s course in any subject and at any UK university.
