all your academic fees |

travel costs to and from the UK |
The scholarship funds most Masters courses, running over a period not less than three months up to 12 months.
The Chevening scholarship is a prestigious award that gives the chance to experience a world-renowned educational system. In addition, this provides you with the opportunity to experience UK life and meet other Chevening scholars. Once you become a Chevening scholar, you will discover many opportunities to develop your career and become a future leader in your field.
You can apply for a Chevening scholarship if you are a postgraduate student who can prove your academic success and who has already begun a career in your chosen field. You'll be expected to show you have at least two years' working experience, with an excellent track record illustrating your achievements, and evidence that you will become a leader in your chosen field. You will also need an upper second class degree or higher.
There is no age limit but you must be a resident in Montenegro when you apply.
You must have good English language skills. Most UK Higher Education Institutions require a minimum IELTS of 6.5 for admission onto postgraduate courses.
One of the main aims of the scheme is to assist successful candidates in playing leading roles in the future of their country. Applicants will normally be selected from those who wish to take courses in: economics, finance, banking, law, human rights, public administration, management, project planning, media, political science, European integration, international relations, diplomatic training and environmental studies although applicants for other courses may be considered.
This year’s areas are: public administration reform (public institutions reform), international law, EU integrations, diplomacy, institutional capacity building, rule of law and EU & NATO.
You are expected to show a commitment to return to Montenegro, where you will contribute to the country's socio-economic development using the new skills and knowledge acquired during your stay in the UK.
You cannot apply for a scholarship for undergraduate or PhD study.
| Within the e-Chevening application system there are 6 fields relating to IELTS results - these fields must be completed before submission, but if there is no result to enter then applicants may instead enter (in all 6 IELTS fields) the date on which they plan to take their IELTS, e.g. 6 March 2010. The mandatory field will then be completed and the application may be submitted. We will update application records for succesful candidates once their results are received. |
Candidates applying for Chevening scholarships for 2010/11 will need to apply online.
The application form should be completed and submitted online by 30 November 2009.
Any application form sent to the British Council by e-mail or other means will not be considered for the awards.
