Description
The Chevening Scholarship is funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and BU. Application and selection is managed by the FCO.
Chevening Scholarships 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.
