Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The Chevening programme was established in 1983 and has developed into a prestigious international scheme. Scholars come from 150 countries worldwide and this year they are planning to support more than 1500 students. Awards are typically for a one-year Master’s degree, in any subject and at any of the UK’s leading universities.
