Chevening is the UK government’s

international awards scheme aimed

at developing global leaders.

Funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth

Office (FCO) and partner organisations,

Chevening offers two types of award –

Chevening Scholarships and Chevening

Fellowships – the recipients of which are

personally selected by British Embassies

and High Commissions throughout

the world.

Chevening offers a unique opportunity for

future leaders, influencers, and decision-

makers from all over the world to develop

professionally and academically, network

extensively, experience UK culture, and build

lasting positive relationships with the UK.

Chevening Scholarships

Chevening Scholarships are offered in

over 160 countries and territories and are

awarded to outstanding future leaders to

pursue a one-year Master’s degree in any

subject and at any UK university.

Chevening Fellowships

Chevening Fellowships are offered to

mid-career professionals who have

reached a position of influence, and

want to increase their knowledge,

networks, and potential through

tailored short courses at UK

universities.

Chevening Partnerships

Chevening Awards are funded

primarily by the Foreign and

Commonwealth Office, with support

from our partners. Partnerships are

strategic relationships with like-minded

organisations that enable Chevening to

increase the number of awards offered.

Chevening Alumni

Chevening has been running since

1983 and Chevening Alumni form

the backbone of the scheme, enabling

the Foreign and Commonwealth

Office to cultivate lasting positive

relationships with past recipients

of Chevening Awards.

Numbering 44,000 worldwide,

Chevening Alumni constitute an

influential and highly regarded

global network. They have an

excellent record of rising to

positions of leadership across

a wide range of fields including

politics, business, the media, civil

society, law, and academia.
