Last year, two Chevening Scholars from Tunisia studied in the UK. Youssef Cherif studied for a MA International Relations at King’s College London and Nabil Chemli studied for a MSc International Studies and Diplomacy at the School of Oriental and African Studies. This year there are three Tunisian Chevening Scholars following Masters courses in the UK’s top universities.

Chevening Scholarships are mainly funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), with some contributions from universities and other partners in the UK and overseas, including governmental and private sector bodies.
