Chevening Scholarships applications open

Sunday, 11th of August 2024

Applications for Chevening Scholarships to study in the UK are open now until November 5. Prospective candidates can submit their applications via chevening.org/apply. Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals from diverse backgrounds who can demonstrate the commitment and skills needed to become future leaders. Applicants must have a realistic and achievable idea to create positive change in their country and be able to demonstrate how a UK Master’s degree will help them bring their idea to life.

The scholarship offers full financial support for scholars to pursue any eligible Master’s degree at over 150 UK universities, along with access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional, and cultural experiences, a press release said. British High Commissioner in Sri Lanka Andrew Patrick, said: “Chevening Scholars have gone on to play a leading role in many areas of Sri Lankan society. After studying in the UK, as a Chevening scholar you will be well-equipped to start making a real difference. Since the programme started in 1983, over 57,000 professionals have advanced their careers through Chevening.

For the 2025/2026 academic year, approximately 1,500 awards are available globally, demonstrating the UK’s commitment to developing the leaders of tomorrow.” 2023 Chevening Scholar Minul Muhamdiramge from Sri Lanka studying a Master’s in Dispute Resolution (LLM) at Queen Mary University of London said: “The Chevening Scholarship offers a unique opportunity to experience life in the UK, connect with likeminded individuals, and share ideas that make a difference. As a Chevening scholar, you write your own powerful story, which is what makes being part of the Chevening community so interesting.”
