Applications for the UK government’s prestigious Chevening Scholarships now open in Pakistan
Professionals from across Pakistan are being urged to apply for a Chevening Scholarship by the British High Commissioner Thomas Drew CMG.
Applications for Chevening Scholarships now open in Pakistan.
Applications for the 2019/2020 Chevening Scholarships to study in the UK are open between 6 August and 6 November 2018. Applications can be submitted online via Chevening website
Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals with demonstrable leadership potential who also have strong academic backgrounds, and offers full financial support to study for a master’s degree at any UK university.
The British High Commissioner Thomas Drew said:
The Chevening Scholarship programme gives scholars a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study a fully-funded one year Master’s degree at any UK university and develop long-lasting professional and personal relationships. Chevening also offers short-term fellowships for journalists and researchers who will enjoy the advantages of an international environment and share best practices with fellows from around the world.
Chevening scholars become ambassadors for Pakistan in the UK and, on their return, for the UK in Pakistan. I urge anyone considering applying to take this opportunity for their future.
Over the last 35 years, 50,000 outstanding professionals have had the opportunity to develop in the UK through Chevening. There are more than 1,500 scholarships on offer globally for the 2019/2020 academic year, demonstrating the UK’s ongoing commitment towards developing the leaders of tomorrow. In Pakistan over 1,600 scholars have availed the Chevening scholarship since 1983. The Chevening class of 2018/19 from Pakistan will depart for the UK to start their course in September 2018.
Successful applicants have been sharing their stories through the #ChosenForChevening hashtag on Twitter and Instagram.
