Who is it for?
The aim of the British Chevening Scholarships scheme is to bring to the UK future leaders, decision makers and opinion formers for a period of postgraduate study at a formative stage of their careers.
Candidates should have established a proven record of success and should have the potential to rise to positions of power and influence in their chosen careers.
Awards are given annually to students from a wide variety of countries and can cover all or part of the cost of a one-year postgraduate course. Successful candidates must return to their own countries on completion of the award.
The selection of candidates is carried out overseas by certain British Embassies and High Commissions in consultation with the local British Council Director. You should, therefore, be resident in your home country when you apply.
Some British Chevening awards are jointly funded with private companies, universities, trusts, foundations and other grant-making institutions.
These are usually advertised locally in those countries where the awards are offered and on the British Council office in your own country about eligibility.
Do not write to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London as they cannot allocate individual scholarships. US citizens are not eligible for this scholarship.
