There are just two weeks left for Gambian applications to the prestigious UK Chevening Scholarship Programme with the deadline for applications being 08th November 2013.

The British High Commission to The Gambia sends two Gambian students to the UK every year for a fully funded one year master’s degree programme at a university of their choice.

Recent Chevening graduates from The Gambia have studied for masters degrees in economics and human rights in universities across the UK.

Scholarships are awarded to exceptional candidates with future leadership potential. Applicants must be Gambian Nationals and have been in work for two or more years. All the information on eligibility and how to apply can be found online at – chevening

Chevening Scholarships operate in over 100 countries around the world and this year will support over 600 students. There are more than 42,000 Chevening Alumni around the world who together comprise an influential and highly regarded global network.
