The aim of the prestigious British Chevening Scholarship scheme is to bring to the UK present and future leaders, decision-makers and opinion-formers. The British Council, in collaboration with the British High Commission administers these awards in Trinidad and Tobago.

Please visit the Chevening website for more information on the scheme.

Every year, the British High Commission is in a position to offer a limited number of Chevening Scholarships for study in the UK.

The scholarships are for one-year postgraduate study at a British university and are offered to potential leaders, decision-makers and opinion formers who are likely to contribute to the political, economic and social development of Trinidad & Tobago.
