Applications for Chevening/ANII Scholarships in Uruguay now open
Applications are now open until November 3
Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations, such as ANII herein Uruguay. The programme makes awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world to study one year postgraduate courses at universities in the UK.
Chevening/ANII scholarships will be awarded to study a Master’s degree in the United Kingdom in any area, although the following are listed as priority: energy —including renewable energy—; international relations; health, environment and biodiversity; Information and Communications Technology (ICT); biotechnology; agro-industrial chain; transport and logistics; and tourism.
The scholarships make awards to outstanding Uruguayan scholars with potential to rise to positions of leadership and influence. New applicants will need to demonstrate that they possess the personal, intellectual and interpersonal attributes reflecting this potential.
This year, a record of 31 professionals have been awarded with the scholarships to study courses in different disciplines. Details of who they are and what they will study can be found below.
Ambassador Ben Lyster-Binns said: “We are happy to give so many Uruguayan professionals the opportunity to continue their studies in the United Kingdom to receive a first-class education, up to the challenges of the 21st century. We hope they will not only enjoy the academic experience, but also everything that the United Kingdom has to offer, and that they will be able to give back to Uruguay what they have learned.”
Each award will provide full payment of academic tuition fees, including examination and thesis costs, a monthly stipend for living expenses sufficient for a single student, an allowance package and a return airfare.
Applications for the scholarships must be made on-line before 3th November 2015.
