What is the Chevening Scholarship Scheme?
Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The programme makes awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world to study postgraduate courses- mainly Masters- at universities across the UK.
