Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals with demonstrable leadership potential who also have strong academic backgrounds. The scholarship offers full financial support for future leaders to study for any eligible master’s degree at any UK university whilst also gaining access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional, and cultural experiences.
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.
Dr Antony Stokes LVO, Her Majesty Ambassador in Cuba stated:
Cuban Chevening scholars excel for their energy, leadership potential and authentic personalities. They pursue first class studies in the UK to expand their talent for their own and Cuba’s benefit.
Chevening scholars are a diverse and influential group who works in different areas all over the world: we do restrict the scheme to particular disciplines. If you think you can be part of this group do not hesitate in sending your request before the 6 November deadline. And good luck!
The call for new applicants follows the selection of 13 Cuban scholars who won an award to study at a UK university this year. Successful applicants have been sharing their stories through the #ChosenForChevening #IamChevening y #CheveningCuba hashtags on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
