Chevening is the UK Government's flagship scholarship scheme, aimed at future leaders, high achievers, opinion formers and decision-makers. The programme is funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), represented by the British Embassy in Bangkok and administered worldwide by the British Council.

The aim of the British Chevening Scholarship Programme in Thailand is to provide financial assistance and opportunity to deserving Thai students and professionals who wish to further their study for a Diploma or a Master’s Degrees in the UK. The objective is to encourage young high-achievers and dynamic Thai students and professionals to study in the UK, and then return to Thailand to contribute to ongoing and future work in the relevant discipline.
