The 2024 UK Government Chevening Scholarships Program
The Chevening Scholarships Program is the UK Government’s global scholarships program, which offers financial support for international students at UK universities. In 2024, the Chevening Scholarships may offer up to 3,000 scholarships and awards to students from around the world
Chevening Scholarships promotes outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world to further one-year master’s degrees in the UK. Whilst there is no ‘specific’ Chevening Scholar, we 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.
