Chevening Scholarship FAQs |
|

Yes, as long as the British University agrees, otherwise you are required to take the IELTS. Our office in Havana is an approved IELTS exam centre. |
|
 |
|
If I do not get a reference letter from my employer, may I apply? |
|
|
No, the British Embassy in Havana insists that there must be proof that the applicant has the support of the current employer, and that there will be employment for the scholar on return to Cuba. |
|
|
|
Is there an age limit to apply for the Chevening scholarship? |
|
|
No, there is no age limit to apply for the scholarship. |
|
|
|
What are the selection criteria for application? |
|
|
The selection criteria are given on the site www.chevening.com. However, the selection board reserves the right to target certain areas as the more likely to be prioritised in a particular year. All applications received are examined and processed carefully. |
|
|
|
May I pursue a one month course under the Chevening Scholarships Scheme? |
|
|

|
|
|
Is it possible to apply for a scholarship if the applicant is domiciled or working in another country? |
|
|

|
|
|
Is it necessary to have the acceptance of a British University in order to apply for these scholarships? |
|
|
No, though it is advisable to request admission at the same time in order to save time, and the prior granting of a place by a university in the UK helps strengthen the application. |
|
|
|
Is there any outline/draft for the reference letter? |
|
|
No, it is only a letter in which the applicant's professional or academic characteristics are described. If possible, it should also mention relevant individual characteristics. |
