About Chevening
Chevening offers fully funded scholarships and fellowships to individuals with ideas to create positive change.
Chevening is the UK government’s international scholarships and fellowships programme.
We’ll nurture confidence in your ideas and give you the education, network, and conviction to bring those ideas to fruition.
Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and partner organisations, we offer individuals who show potential to inspire, inform, and influence positive change the opportunity to study at a UK university to gain a UK educational qualification.
Chevening Scholars study subjects in a diverse range of fields, and go on to implement their ideas for positive change in a range of sectors.
Chevening Fellowships offer mid-senior level professionals the opportunity to undertake specialised short courses or research placements at UK universities and institutions.
After completing their period of study in the UK, scholars and fellows return home and join our global network of over 60,000 alumni.
Chevening is more than just a year spent in the UK, it’s a community for life. Find out more about the benefits of Chevening.
