British Embassy San Jose bids farewell to Chevening scholars
The British Ambassador organised a special evening for eight Costa Rican scholars who are part of this year´s Chevening scholarship programme.
On 21 August 2017, the British Ambassador, Ross Denny, hosted a farewell event for the eight Costa Rican scholars who will be heading off to study in the United Kingdom during the academic year 2017-2018 under the Chevening scholarship programme.
This activity provided a valuable opportunity for Ambassador Denny to meet each of the scholars individually and to learn more about their aspirations for the upcoming year in the UK. It also allowed the outgoing students to interact with past Chevening scholars, Andrés Madriz and María Gabriela Alvarado, and to learn about the Chevening Alumni network in the country.
