Each scholarship winner will receive a scholarship of around £20,000. The 2016 recipients are:
- Marlon Ochoa (Public Policy at the University of Oxford)
- Andrea Argueta (Global Supply Chain Management at City University)
- Clarissa Cárcamo (Criminal Justice and Human Rights at the University of Aberdeen)
- Patricia Solorzano (Oil and Gas Law at the University of Aberdeen)

To mark the event, the Chargé d’Affaires for the British Embassy in Honduras, Andrew Tate, said:
I would like to congratulate the six winners on their scholarships. Chevening offers a unique opportunity for future leaders, influencers, and decision-makers from all over the world to develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK. Upon their return, I’m sure they’ll make outstanding contributions to the future development of Honduras. I wish them the very best of luck.
