CHEVENING SCHOLARSHIPS

 

Chevening Scholarships enable excellent emerging leaders from throughout the world to study in the United Kingdom for a one-year master's degree.

Because these scholarships are completely financed (flights, lodging, and course costs are all covered), you can concentrate on accomplishing your professional goals and making the most of your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You will spend a year living and studying in the United Kingdom, during which time you will grow professionally and academically, network widely, learn about British culture, and form lasting good bonds with the country. You will leave the UK with the knowledge and networks essential to bring your own ideas to life once you have completed your studies.
