Chevening Scholarships present an extraordinary opportunity for outstanding emerging leaders from every corner of the globe to undertake a one-year master’s degree in the United Kingdom. Designed for individuals who possess the vision, passion, and influence to address pressing local, national, and global challenges, Chevening provides far more than just academic study: it offers a life-changing experience. As a fully funded programme, scholars are able to dedicate their time and energy entirely to personal, academic, and professional growth, while enjoying the unique chance to explore the UK’s world-class universities and vibrant culture. Over the course of the year, scholars gain access to diverse learning environments, engage in thought-provoking discussions, expand their perspectives, and form connections that transcend borders. They also have the opportunity to network extensively with leaders, experts, and fellow scholars from across the world, cultivating relationships that can lead to lifelong collaborations.
On completing their studies, Chevening Scholars return home equipped with the knowledge, confidence, and global networks necessary to transform their ideas into impactful solutions. Alumni of the programme are found across industries, governments, and organizations worldwide, driving change and creating opportunities for others. While there is no single path or profile that defines a Chevening Scholar, those selected often display ambition, resilience, leadership potential, and a genuine commitment to making a positive difference within their communities and beyond.
Chevening embraces diversity and inclusion, encouraging applications from all qualified candidates regardless of gender, age (with no upper age limit), sexual orientation, religion, marital or parental status, caste, class, or other personal attributes.
