The Chevening Scholarship Programme is a prestigious awards scheme that funds international postgraduate students who want to study in the UK. Funded by the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and administered by the British Council, the scheme operates in over 150 countries and annually provides funding for over 2,300 students.
Since 1988 when the programme began in Turkey, over 1700 Turkish scholars have studied in the UK under the British Chevening Scholarship scheme. Most now hold positions of responsibility in public administration and government, international organisations, journalism, commerce, science and education, and within the ‘Non-Governmental Organisation’ (NGO) community.
