Study In UK: 2022 Chevening Scholarship Awards for International Students

Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations.

The programme offers awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world to study for a master’s degree in any subject at any UK university.

Chevening Scholarships are aimed at international postgraduates with high leadership potential, enabling them to study for a Masters at a British university and develop useful professional/academic networks. These connections can then be used to build a strong relationship with the UK and make a positive impact in your home country.

Along with generous funding, the Chevening programme includes plenty of extracurricular activities and volunteering opportunities designed to help Chevening Scholars experience the best of British culture and make the most of their time in the UK. These range from sightseeing trips in different parts of the country to networking events with other scholars on the programme.

To be considered for the Chevening Scholarship Award, you must:

• Be a citizen of an eligible Chevening country
• Hold an undergraduate degree equivalent to a UK 2.1 (‘upper second-class honours’).
• Have two years’ work experience.
• Have an unconditional offer for a master’s at a UK university
• Have completed all components of an undergraduate degree that will enable you to gain entry onto a postgraduate programme at a UK university by the time you submit your application.

Having a master’s degree does not prevent you from applying for a Chevening Award to study for a second master’s degree in the UK, as long as you can clearly explain why it will help you fulfil your career plan to influence positive change in your home country.

Chevening Scholarship Duration and Reward

• Master’s courses in the UK typically last for one year, which is shorter than in many other countries.
• Successful candidates get the following;
  1. Full payment of Masters tuition fees, up to £18,000
  2. Payment of travel to and from the UK
  3. Payment of visa application fees
  4. A monthly living allowance (stipend) for accommodation and expenses – this amount will be confirmed in your acceptance letter and will be higher if you’re studying in London

You may also receive an ‘events travel top-up allowance’ to contribute towards the cost of travelling to any mandatory Chevening events, which are usually held in London.
