Chevening Scholarships 2025 (Fully Funded)

Deadline: November 4, 2024

Chevening Scholarships enable outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world to pursue one-year master’s degrees in the UK. While there is no ‘typical’ Chevening Scholar, they are looking for the kind of people who have the passion, ideas, and influence to provide the solutions and leadership needed to create a better future.

Because these scholarships are fully funded (flights, accommodation, and course fees are all included), students are free to focus on achieving their professional goals and maximizing the experience of a lifetime. They will live and study in the UK for a year, during which time they will develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK. On completing their studies, they will leave the UK equipped with the knowledge and networks necessary to bring their own ideas to life.
