Chevening Scholarship Programme

The British Chevening Scholarships Programme

aims to bring future leaders, decision-makers, and opinion-formers to the United Kingdom for a period of postgraduate study at a formative stage in their careers. The awards are funded by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and can be for short-term three-month courses to a one-year Masters degree programme. Candidates must be Slovak nationals, between 25-40 years of age, with excellent English and must clearly intend to return to Slovakia after the award.
Scholarships for the academic year 2007–2008 have already been awarded. Unfortunately, this was the final year of Chevening scholarship for Slovakia.
