Chevening Scholarships

Chevening Scholarships are fully funded awards from the UK Government. They support emerging leaders from around the world to complete a one-year master's degree at a UK university. The programme has three strands: the standard Chevening Scholarship, the Chevening SIDS Scholarship for Small Island Developing States, and the ASEAN Chevening Scholarship for ASEAN member states or Timor-Leste.

During your year in the UK you study and develop professionally and academically, build networks, and experience UK culture. After finishing, you leave with knowledge and connections to help you bring your ideas to life. Successful applicants tend to show ambition, leadership qualities, and a drive to influence positive change in their home countries. Your gender, age (there is no upper age limit), sexual orientation, religion, marriage or parenthood status, caste, class, or other attributes do not affect your application. What matters is a thoughtful application showing you can excel on an intense master's course in the UK and that you have a clear vision for your future.
