About This Opportunity

Chevening is the UK Government's prestigious international scholarships programme, funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and partner organisations. The programme offers exceptional future leaders the opportunity to further their education in the UK through fully funded scholarships.

The scholarship is designed for emerging leaders who demonstrate strong academic backgrounds, professional achievement, and leadership potential. Scholars become part of the global Chevening network of leaders and decision-makers making measurable impact in areas like climate action, economic prosperity, and conflict recovery. As a fully funded scholarship, Chevening covers university tuition fees, monthly stipend, travel costs to and from the UK, arrival and departure allowances, visa application costs, and travel grants to attend Chevening events in the UK. The programme also provides exclusive networking opportunities and the chance to immerse in the UK's diverse culture. Applications are processed through an online application system and require applicants to meet specific eligibility criteria. Successful applicants must demonstrate leadership potential, strong academic qualifications, and a clear plan for how they will use their UK education to benefit their home country.
