The Chevening Scholarships were designed as a way to encourage young emerging leaders from all over the globe to pursue one-year programs of graduate study in the United Kingdom. These awards aren’t designed for the typical student – they are designed for individuals who have the influence, heart, and ideas to develop the leadership skills necessary for a brighter future.

These awards are fully funded and cover everything from accommodations, flights, and course fees. As a result, students have the freedom to focus on achieving their career goals while making the most of this impressive experience. Scholars will study and live in the UK for the entire year, during which they will develop both academically and professionally, networking with influential individuals while they experience culture and build positive relationships in the country.

To be eligible to apply, applicants must be citizens of Chevening-eligible territories or countries. Individuals who hold British citizenship of any kind, or those who hold refugee status in a non-eligible country, may not apply. Individuals who are employees or relatives of employees of the British government may not apply, nor may those who have previously studied in the UK with funding from a government-funded award.

Applicants must return to their country of citizenship for at least two years after the award has been completed, and they must have completed all elements of an undergraduate degree required to gain admission to a postgraduate UK university program. Applicants should also have two years of work experience and have applied to three different eligible university courses, with an unconditional offer received by July 16, 2020.

Applications opened on August 3 and the deadline to submit all materials is November 2. Interviews will be scheduled in February 2022, which is also when all references and supporting educational documents are due. Interviews will take place until May 2022, and the results will be announced in June 2022.

Aspiring global leaders are invited to apply for the Chevening Scholarships for 2019-2020. These awards are funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and partner organizations, and are split into two categories: scholarships and fellowships. These awards provide an excellent opportunity to influential candidates from all over the world to develop professional and academic networks within the United Kingdom.

To be eligible to apply, candidates should have a valid passport or national ID card, as well as university transcripts and any relevant degree certificates. Candidates should list three different course choices in the UK Master’s program, as well as the names and details of two valid references.

Candidates must be citizens of Chevening-eligible countries and plan to return to their home countries for at least two years after the ending of the awards. Individuals should also be in possession of undergraduate degrees that will enable them to enter into postgraduate programs of study at UK universities.

Two years’ work experience is also generally required, as is the proof of application to three different eligible UK university courses. English language proficiency is another requirement of the program. British citizens may not apply. Most shortlisted candidates will be required to interview as part of the application process. These run from March 4 to May 1, although fellowship interviews may take place at a different time. Interviews will be conducted face-to-face, so applicants should expect to travel.

Fellowship applications take roughly six months to review, although this varies depending on the program of choice. Scholarships take at least eight months to determine. For the 2019-2020 term, applications open on August 6, 2018, and close on November 6, 2018. Applicants will be notified in early June 2019.

The government of the United Kingdom regularly offers the Chevening Scholarship, an opportunity for future world leaders to develop professionally and academically. This award is funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and other partnering organizations. In addition to Chevening Scholarships, Fellowships are also available. Recipients of both types of awards will be personally selected by British embassies and related commissions.

Applications are open between August 7 and November 7. To apply, applicants must supply proof of English language proficiency, coursework, references, work experience, and an additional online application. Required official documentation includes a valid passport or ID card, university transcripts and degree certificates, and three U.K. master’s course choices. By July 12, 2018, all applicants must also submit English language test results and a U.K. master’s university offer.

To be eligible, applicants must be citizens of Chevening-eligible countries. A minimum of two years after the award has ended, students must also return to their original countries of citizenships. Applicants must also hold an undergraduate degree that will enable them to enter into a postgraduate program at a U.K. university. Ideal candidates will also have at least two years’ work experience and have received an offer of admission to three different eligible U.K. university courses.

Individuals who hold British or dual British citizenship may not apply. Additionally, employees of any government or partnering organization may not apply, unless they do not receive an award from the organization for which they work. Students may also have not studied in the United Kingdom with funding from a U.K. government-funded scholarship.

Once applications are submitted, each one will undergo an electronic sift to ensure it meets all eligibility criteria. It is not possible to change or retract a submitted application. If an applicant is selected for an interview, he or she must submit two complete references no later than February 26, 2018.
