Over recent years, the Chevening programme has grown significantly in Indonesia. This is not only testament to the UK’s long-term commitment to Indonesia as a global partner, but also signals how open the UK is for foreign students.
This year we have awarded 73 scholarships for Indonesia and Timor Leste and to some of the brightest and most capable young people. The increasing number reflects the UK’s attractiveness as a destination for high quality education and the strength of Chevening scholarship programme.
