Are you looking for fully funded scholarship to study in UK? The Chevening UK Government Scholarship Programme is now opened for interested and qualified applicants for the 2023/2024.
This page will show you how to apply for the scholarship, application deadline and requirements and other details.
The UK government’s Chevening international awards program fosters the growth of world leaders. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organizations, who provide funding for Chevening, select the beneficiaries of its two categories of awards, the Chevening Fellowships and the Chevening Scholarships, respectively.
They are seeking the kind of people that can offer the solutions required for a better future with their passion, ideas, and influence. Future international leaders and influencers have a rare opportunity to grow professionally and academically, make vast connections, learn about UK culture, and establish long-lasting, fruitful partnerships with the UK through Chevening.
