Do you have the potential to be a future leader and a desire to study in the UK? The Chevening programme is now open! The British High Commission in Victoria is inviting talented Seychellois wishing to study in the UK to apply for the UK’s Chevening Scholarships Programme which opened on 1 August 2014 for the academic year 2015-2016. Approximately 1500 Chevening Awards will be offered worldwide in the 2015/16 academic year - triple the number the UK offered in 2014/15. This is a significant investment from the UK Government to develop the next generation of global leaders. Applications will close on 15 November 2014.
The Scholarships, which are funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations, operate in over 100 countries worldwide. The Scholarships are prestigious awards aimed at extremely capable individuals who are motivated to pursue a career that will take them to a position of leadership within their own country or region. Awards are typically for a one-year Master’s degree, in any subject and at any UK university.
