Chevening Scholarships are the UK Government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The scholarships support study at UK universities –one-year master’s degrees – for individuals with demonstrable potential to become future leaders, decision-makers, and opinion formers.
To mark the farewell event, the British Ambassador to Guatemala, Carolyn Davidson, said:
I am delighted to announce that this year we will be sending four Guatemalans to study at some of the best universities in the world, meaning the number of Chevening Scholars in Guatemala continues to grow. There are over 50,000 Chevening alumni around the world. I am confident that these scholars will have an enjoyable and rewarding experience and return to contribute to a bright and prosperous future for Guatemala.
The application window for the 2020/2021 Chevening Scholarships is now open and applications can be submitted through the online application system until 5 November 2019. For more details, please visit the Chevening website.
