The British Chevening scholarships , which have a target audience of opinion formers, change agents, decision makers and a wider young public aim to bring to the UK present and future leaders. We give priority to particularly able students from countries with whom the UK's economic relations are expected to develop.
Preference is given to candidates already established in a career.
Awards are given annually to students from a wide variety of countries and can cover all or part of the cost. Application forms are available in October and should be submitted by the first week in January. Interviewing of selected candidates is done in February. Selection of candidates is carried out in respective countries by British Embassies and High Commissions in consultation with the local British Council director. You should therefore be resident in your home country when you apply.
