Chevening Scholarships

Return to Fellowship Search

Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship program. The program makes awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world to study postgraduate courses at universities in the UK. Chevening Scholars come from over 116 countries worldwide (excluding the USA and the EU). The program 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. The priority areas in which Scholarships are funded vary from country to country and can be found on the country pages of the Chevening website.
