We celebrated the 6th Anniversary of the Alumni Association for Lebanese Graduates of UK Universities and 40th Anniversary of the Chevening Scholarships Scheme
Chevening Alumni Association Lebanon
The British Ambassador to Lebanon, Hamish Cowell CMG, hosted a reception at his residence last night to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the Alumni Association for Lebanese Graduates of UK Universities. It also marked the 40th Anniversary of Chevening, the UK government’s international scholarships and fellowships programme. It’s a one year fully funded scholarship for individuals with ideas to create a positive change.
Guests included some of the most talented and successful Lebanese graduates of UK universities and LAF officers who attended UK staff colleges and military academies were present. Amongst them were lawyers, human rights activists, economists, entrepreneurs and politicians, some of whom graduated from amongst the UK’s most prestigious universities.
British Ambassador Hamish Cowell said:
Tonight we have a lot to celebrate.
We are proud that you chose the UK as a place to study and more proud still of how you are contributing to the Lebanon you aspire to in your respective fields, in extremely difficult times. You are this country’s human potential and the UK will remain a strong supporter of the Lebanese people.
I’m pleased to announce a new online platform ‘Alumni UK’ which was developed by the British Council to support former international higher education students who studied in the UK or completed UK courses through online or transnational education.
