The Scholarships are offered in over 130 countries. They enable talented graduates and young professionals whom we identify as the potential leaders of tomorrow to develop strong links with the UK and with each other in a global network, at the same time as becoming familiar with the UK.

The Chevening programme provides around 1,000 new scholarships each year for postgraduate studies or research at UK Institutions of Higher Education. In addition to that we provide over 200 Fellowship places. The scheme is managed by the British Council, on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

What is Chevening?

Chevening Scholarships are prestigious awards available to international students for study in the United Kingdom.

The scholarships are named after Chevening House in Kent, the official country residence of the Foreign Secretary. They are available in more than 130 countries and around 1000 new Chevening Scholarships are awarded globally each year. Chevening scholarships offer an ideal opportunity for young, high-flying graduates not only to study their chosen subject, but also to meet and network with their peers in the unique learning atmosphere that the UK provides. The ultimate objective is to build a network of friends of the UK, who will be future leaders in their countries. Candidates are selected by the British Embassy/British High Commission.
