BRITISH CHEVENING SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME
Helping Indian students study in the UK

Richard Stagg CMG, British High Commissioner to India The Chevening programme has over the years given a unique opportunity to over 2,000 Indians to study in Britain and develop new skills. It is now the UK’s second largest scholarship programme globally.

The key theme for Chevening 2008 is Leadership. We are looking for exceptional Indian graduates from diverse backgrounds including the private sector and civil society to apply for the programme.

Chevening scholars have continued to make immense contribution to their home country. When I worked in Eastern Europe, two of the region’s Prime Ministers were Chevening alumni. The same is true in business, academics and the media. I see the Chevening Programme as a passport to success."

Richard Stagg CMG, British High Commissioner to India
