What is a Chevening Scholarship?

The Chevening is a prestigious award scheme for postgraduate students who would like to study in the UK. This is an annual programme funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and administered by the British Council.  This highly-competitive scheme offers full-time postgraduate scholarships of varying length to Libyan women and men who will play a key role in promoting Libya's political, economic and social development.
