The government of United Kingdom has announced it has tippled Chevening scholarship slots for 2015/16 academic year from the present 500 to 1, 500.
The Chevening Secretariat will soon be accepting applications for the 2015/16 academic cycle, with applications opening on Friday 1 August.
There will be approximately 1500 Chevening Awards offered in the 2015/16 cycle – triple the number we offered for 2014/15. This is a significant investment from the UK Government to develop the next cohort of global leaders and is an opportunity you simply cannot afford to miss.
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 Chevening programme was established in 1983 and has developed into a prestigious international scheme. Chevening Scholars come from more than 150 countries and territories worldwide (excluding the USA and the EU), and this year the Scholarships will support more than 1500 individuals. There are over 43,000 Chevening alumni around the world who together comprise an influential and highly regarded global network.
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.
If you are a future leader, decision maker or influencer then we strongly encourage you to consider the opportunities Chevening can bring to your own professional development. Register your interest now by signing up for email alerts at www.chevening.org, and make sure you return to the website on 1 August to submit your application.
