British Chevening Scholarships for International Students


Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The programme makes awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world to study postgraduate courses at universities in the UK.
The programme provides full or part funding for full-time courses at postgraduate level, normally a one-year Master’s degree, in any subject and at any UK university.

Host Institution(s): Any university in the UK

Field(s) of study: Any subject at any UK university, but you should check your country page for priority areas.

Number of Awards: Around 1500 scholarships globally will be offered.

Target group: The scholarships are targeted to citizens of Chevening-eligible countries.  See the official website for complete list of countries eligible for Chevening scholarships.

Scholarship value/inclusions: Most Chevening Scholarships cover: tuition fees; a living allowance at a set rate (for one individual); an economy class return airfare to the UK; additional grants to cover essential expenditure. Some Scholarships cover part of the cost of studying in the UK; for example, tuition fees only or allowances only. Please check the individual country pages for more details.

Eligibility: Chevening Scholarships are for talented people who have been identified as potential future leaders across a wide range of fields; including politics, business, the media, civil society, religion, and academia. Applicants should be high calibre graduates with the personal, intellectual and interpersonal qualities necessary for leadership.

  1. HELLO! I am interesting in the British Chevening scholarship. Well, I think I'm pretty well in academic subjects but my English is very bad. SO, I want to know if I get the scholarship and are they going to provide English course for me?

    1. I don't think they will, but they may help you in an academic way that you have to pay it yourself. Good luck!:D
