Awards are given annually to students from a wide variety of countries and can cover all or part of the cost. Selection of candidates is carried out overseas by British Embassies and High Commissions in consultation with the local British Council director.

Some British Chevening awards are jointly funded with private companies, universities, trusts, foundations and other grant-making organisations. These are usually advertised locally in those countries where the awards are offered.
