Chevening Scholarships are the UK’s prestigious scholarship programme – we offer financial support for a postgraduate degree at any of the UK’s leading universities for aspiring leaders or opinion formers. The programme also enables scholars to experience social, cultural and academic life in the UK, as well as join a global network of over 42,000 alumni around the world.

Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The programme makes awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world to study postgraduate courses at universities in the UK.

The programme provides full or part funding for full-time courses at postgraduate level, normally a one-year Master’s degree, in any subject and at any UK university.
