About the Fully funded Chevening Scholarship: Study in UK

The Chevening scholarship offers opportunities for outstanding emerging leaders from all parts of the world to pursue one year full-time master’s degrees in the United Kingdom (UK). The Scholarship is seeking application from ambitious candidates who have leadership qualities and a passion for influencing positive change in their home countries.

The Chevening Scholarship is an open competition that does not discriminate on gender, age (there is no upper age limit), sexual orientation, religion, marriage or parenthood status, caste, class, or other attributes. Instead, applications are reviewed based on your ability to submit a thoughtful application that demonstrates you are capable of excelling on an intense master’s course in the UK, and that you have a clear vision for your future.

Eligibility Criteria for the Chevening Scholarship

To be eligible for a Chevening Scholarship you must:

Be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country or territory.
Return to your country of citizenship for a minimum of two years after your award has ended.
Have completed all components of an undergraduate degree that will enable you to gain entry onto a postgraduate programme at a UK university by the time you submit your application. This is typically equivalent to an upper second-class 2:1 honours degree in the UK but may be different depending on your course and university choice.
Have at least two years (equivalent to 2,800 hours) of work experience.
Apply to three different eligible UK university courses and have received an unconditional offer from one of these choices by 14 July 2022.
