Chevening is the UK government’s international awards scheme
aimed at developing global leaders. Funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office (FCO) and partner organisations, Chevening offers two types of award –
Chevening Scholarships and Chevening Fellowships – the recipients of which are
personally selected by British Embassies and High Commissions throughout the
world.
Chevening offers a unique opportunity for future leaders,
influencers, and decision-makers from all over the world to develop
professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture,
and build lasting positive relationships with the UK.

- Be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country
- Return to your country of citizenship for a minimum of two years after your award has ended
- Have an undergraduate degree that will enable you to gain entry to a postgraduate programme at a UK university. This is typically equivalent to an upper second-class 2:1 honours degree in the UK.
- Have at least two years’ work experience (this may be up to five years for fellowship programmes, please refer to your country page for further details)
- Apply to three different eligible UK university courses and have received an unconditional offer from one of these choices by 13 July 2017
