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.
