The Chevening Scholarships scheme is the global scholarship programme of the British government.

The Scholarships are awarded to exceptional individuals with leadership potential and they enable recipients to study one-year Masters courses in a range of subjects at UK universities.

The Scholarships are funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and aim to support UK foreign policy priorities by creating lasting positive relationships with future leaders, influencers and decision makers.

The application period for Scholarships for study beginning in September 2017 is now open.
