The Chevening Scholarship Programme is a worldwide scholarship scheme funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) with UK universities and administered by us. Chevening Scholarships are prestigious awards offered in over 150 countries to enable talented graduates and young professionals to become familiar with UK and gain skills to benefit their countries.
About 20 Chevening scholarships, half under our Joint Chevening programmes, are awarded to Palestinians each year to pursue mainly Masters courses at UK universities. The Joint Chevening Scholarships are co-funded by the Said Foundation, Open Society Institute (OSI), Dahdaleh Foundation/LSE, and University of Edinburgh (Birzeit Gratduates only), University of Edinburgh (Palestinian Students residents in Gaza only). The Said Foundation and OSI Joint Chevening programmes will be advertised separately in autumn/winter 2009/2010
