Chevening Scholarships

To apply 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

Most Chevening Scholarships cover:

• Tuition fees
• Economy travel to and from your country of residence by an approved route for you only.
• An arrival allowance
• The cost of an entry clearance (visa) application for you only.
• A departure allowance
• A contribution of up to £75 for TB testing, where this is required
• A travel top-up allowance
• A monthly personal living allowance (stipend) to cover accommodation and living expenses. These rates are subject to annual review.

If selected for Chevening, your offer letter will confirm what your scholarship will entail.
