Fully Funded Scholarship In United Kingdom Chevening Scholarship 2020/2021

 

Chevening Scholarship 2020/2021 is now open for applications. Chevening is the UK government’s international awards program aimed at developing global leaders since 1983. Chevening enables outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world to pursue one-year master’s degrees in the UK. Chevening is the UK’s Government Scholarship Program to undertake any master’s course at any UK university. The UK is home to many of the world’s best universities.

 

Chevening Scholarship is one of the best scholarships in the world. Chevening Scholarships for international students enable outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world to pursue one-year master’s degrees in the UK. Whilst 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), you are free to focus on achieving your professional goals and maximizing the experience of a lifetime. You will live and study in the UK for a year, during which time you will develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK. On completing your studies, you will leave the UK equipped with the knowledge and networks necessary to bring your own ideas to life.
