The government of United Kingdom has announced Chevening Scholarships, a fully-funded scholarship to undertake any master’s course at any UK university.
The beneficiaries of this scholarship are mainly international students and non-UK citizens.
Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals from all backgrounds who can demonstrate that they have the commitment and skills required to become future leaders, and can show how a UK master’s degree will help them to create positive change in their country.
The scholarship offers full financial support for scholars to study for an eligible master’s degree, from over 150 UK universities, whilst also gaining access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional and cultural experiences.
Applications to study in the UK with a Chevening Scholarship can be made between September 12 and November 7.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS:
To be considered for the Chevening Scholarship Award, you must:
— Be a citizen of an eligible Chevening country
Hold an undergraduate degree equivalent to a UK 2.1 (‘upper second-class honours’).
— Have two years’ work experience.
— Have an unconditional offer for a Masters at a UK university
— 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.
It should be noted that having a master’s degree does not prevent you from applying for a Chevening Award to study for a second master’s degree in the UK, as long as you can clearly explain why it will help you fulfill your career plan to influence positive change in your home country.
Applications must be submitted via the relevant online application forms at www.chevening.org/apply or www.chevening.org/fellowship/sajp
