Information
About
Chevening is the UK Government’s international scholarships programme. Funded by
the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and partner organisations, we
offer awards to study in the UK for one year on a fully funded master’s degree course.
Successful Chevening candidates come from a diverse range of countries and
backgrounds, but they all demonstrate the passion, vision and skills needed to shape a
better world.
There are many benefits to being selected, including fully funded tuition fees, access to
some of the best quality education in the world, exclusive networking opportunities, and
the chance to explore the UK’s diverse culture.
At the end of your scholarship, you’ll join our diverse community of over 60,000 global
alumni. You’ll return home equipped with the knowledge and networks to bring your
ideas to life and thrive in your career.
Required documents
All Chevening applicants must submit their education documents, references, and one
unconditional UK university offer. The deadlines for these required documents are in the
Chevening application timeline.
If you are conditionally selected for a Chevening Scholarship, it is essential that you
submit these documents in order to remain in the process.
Selection updates and timelines
You will receive email updates about your application status at each step of the
selection process. You can also check your status on the online application system. Log
in using your registration details. Take a look at the Chevening application timeline and
our FAQs for a better understanding of the upcoming stages of the selection process.
Feedback
Due to the large number of applications received each year, we are unable to provide
individual application status updates or feedback to unsuccessful applicants. Please do
not contact your British embassy or high commission with application enquiries.

Notice: We have been made aware of agencies offering assistance on Chevening
Scholarship applications for a fee. We can confirm that these agencies are not
approved or endorsed by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the
Association of Commonwealth Universities, or the Chevening Secretariat. We advise
potential applicants against the use of these services in the strongest possible terms.
Use of a paid for service for Chevening applications is not permitted.
Additional information
For scholars from Iraq, applications to return to third countries may be considered in
exceptional circumstances if returning to the home country is impossible due to conflict.
This provision does not affect the requirement for all Chevening Scholars to remain
outside of the UK for at least two years irrespective of their country of origin.
Instagram Live
More than 2 years ago, I had a live on Instagram with a student who got this scholarship
and spoke about his experience. I would recommend watching it here.
