Scholarship Details
The UK Government Chevening Scholarship is a global scholarship initiative sponsored by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. It provides fully funded awards to exceptional individuals with leadership potential from across the world, enabling them to pursue a one-year master’s degree in any subject at any university in the United Kingdom.
The program is designed to support academically strong, visionary, and influential professionals who are committed to returning to their home countries to drive development. Chevening offers a unique opportunity to access world-class education, build professional networks, and deepen mutual understanding between the UK and participating countries.
Holding a previous master’s degree does not disqualify candidates from applying, as long as they are able to clearly explain how another master’s degree aligns with their career ambitions and their potential to create positive change in their home country.
