Chevening Scholarship 2024
Opened for Application.
Chevening enables
outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world to pursue one-year
master’s degrees in the UK.
There is no such thing as
a ‘typical’ Chevening Scholar, but those who are successful tend to have
ambition, leadership qualities, and a passion for influencing positive change
in their home countries.
We encourage you to apply
if you meet our eligibility criteria and other requirements. Your gender, age
(there is no upper age limit), sexual orientation, religion, marriage or
parenthood status, caste, class, or other attributes do not matter to us. What
matters is your ability to submit a thoughtful application that demonstrates
you are capable of excelling on an intense master’s course in the UK, and that
you have a clear vision for your future.

Chevening’s eligibility and work
experience requirements to assess your own eligibility, and find

Eligibility
Ineligible applications
will be rejected, so it is important that you check that you meet our
eligibility criteria before you start your application.
To be eligible for a
Chevening Scholarship you must:
· Be
a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country or territory.
· Return
to your country of citizenship for a minimum of two years after your award has
ended.
· 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. This is typically equivalent to an upper second-class
2:1 honours degree in the UK but may be different depending on your course and
university choice.
· Have
at least two years (equivalent to 2,800 hours) of work experience.
· Apply
to three different eligible UK university
courses and have received an unconditional offer from one of these
choices by the deadline listed on the application
timeline.
You are not eligible for
a Chevening Scholarship if you:
· Hold
British or dual British citizenship (unless you are a citizen of a British
Overseas Territory or hold BN(O) and are applying from Hong Kong).
· Hold
refugee status in a non-Chevening eligible country. Applicants who are citizens
of a Chevening-eligible country and who hold refugee status in a
Chevening-eligible country are eligible for a scholarship.
· Are
an employee, a former employee, or relative* of an employee of His Majesty’s
Government, or have been within the last two years from the opening of
Chevening applications (including the Foreign, Commonwealth and
Development Office, all British Embassies/High Commissions, the Home Office,
the Ministry of Defence, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial
Strategy, the Department for International Trade and the UKVI), the British
Council, a sponsoring UK university, or a staff member of the Association of
Commonwealth Universities.
· Employees,
former employees, or relatives* of an employee of Chevening Partner
organisations are eligible to apply, but if the employment took place within
the last two years, you cannot receive a Chevening Partner Award from the
organisation from which you work, previously worked, or are affiliated with
through relatives.
· Have
previously studied in the UK with funding from a UK Government-funded
scholarship.
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.
Once submitted,
applications undergo an electronic sift against our eligibility criteria. Any
applications deemed ineligible will be removed from the selection process.
Please see the list of
common errors here. If you make these errors in your application form, your
application will be ineligible. Please note that once your application has been
submitted, it is not possible to change it retrospectively.
