Chevening UK Government Scholarships for International Students 2017

Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations offer Chevening scholarships formaster degree programmes. International applicants are eligible to apply.

Chevening offers a unique opportunity for future leaders, influencers, and decision-makers from all over the world to develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK.

Chevening is the UK government’s international awards scheme aimed at developing global leaders since 1983. Funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations, Chevening offers two types of award – Chevening Scholarships and Chevening Fellowships – the recipients of which are personally selected by British Embassies and High Commissions throughout the world.

Applicants must have an undergraduate degree that will enable you to gain entry to a postgraduate programme at a UK university. This is typically equivalent to an upper second-class 2:1 honours degree in the UK.

Course Level: The programme provides full or part funding for full-time courses at postgraduate level, normally a one-year Master’s degree at any UK University.

Study Subject(s): Scholarships are provided to study any subject at any UK University.

Scholarship Provider: A full Chevening Scholarship normally comprises:

Payment of tuition fees (see point 1.2.a in relation to MBA fee caps)

Economy travel to and from your country of residence by an approved route for you only

An arrival allowance

The cost of an entry clearance (visa) application for you only

A departure allowance

A contribution of up to £75 for TB testing, where this is required

A travel top up allowance

A monthly personal living allowance (stipend) to cover accommodation and living expenses. The monthly stipend will depend on whether you are studying inside or outside London. These rates are subject to annual review. Stipend payments will be made to you on or around the 21st of the month for the following full month. Where you arrive in the UK or leave the UK part way through the month, the stipend for that month will be adjusted as appropriate.

Changes to the value of a scholarship

a) The value of your Scholarship will differ from the above in the following circumstances:

The embassy or high commission offers applicants a part award. This type of award will provide funding for tuition fees (no stipend or other allowance) OR stipend and allowances only (no tuition fees) only. In the case of part awards you will be expected to fund any difference.

Applicants are offered an award to study an MBA. The Chevening contribution to the tuition fee is capped at £18,000. You will be expected to fund the difference. You may be required to demonstrate that you hold sufficient funding to cover the remaining tuition fee costs.

Applicants Award is sponsored by a partner organisation. Any awards of this type offered may vary depending on the agreement reached with the co-sponsor

The FCO reserves the right to reduce a Chevening award or withdraw a Scholarship in instances where Scholars are beneficiaries of other significant awards, bursaries, prizes or earned income.

All universities are expected to cover at least 20% of the cost of your tuition fees. In cases where a university is unable or refuses to provide such funding, the FCO reserves the right to withdraw the placement and send you to your next preferred choice. Alternatively, you may wish to cover the 20% amount yourself in which case we can continue with the placement at that university. Where this situation arises your programme officer will discuss the options with you.

2. Funding additional to a Chevening Scholarship

a) Applicants must not accept any other form of publicly-funded award during your Scholarship and should not normally accept additional funding for purposes already covered by Chevening.

b) Applicants must disclose on your application form whether you have applied, or intend to apply, for any other scholarships or awards.

c) Where applicants are considering applying for or are offered additional funding after you have been selected, you must disclose this to your programme officer as soon as possible.

d) Applicants may retain funding or other benefits not specifically covered by your Chevening Scholarship and you may continue to be in receipt of a salary from your past employer during your Scholarship.

e) The right is reserved to abate Chevening Scholarships in instances where you are a beneficiary of other significant awards, prizes or earned income.

f) Applicants are not barred from taking part-time employment while in the UK but should not accept employment or internship opportunities unless agreed with the Secretariat.

g) Applicants must comply with the employment conditions of your visa, university/college regulations, and the conditions of your award.

h) Applicants should remember that your academic studies are of paramount importance and should be given due priority.

i) In certain circumstances you may be given or seek an opportunity to undertake UK-based employment, or be in receipt of additional funding originating from either abroad or from within the UK during your Chevening Scholarship. In such cases the following rules will apply:

Extra income up to an including £3,000 over a 12 month period, will not be subject to a deduction

Extra income in excess of £3,000 and up to and including £7,000 will result in a £250 deduction in monthly stipend

Extra income in excess of £7,000 and up to and including £10,000 will result in a reduction to half stipend rate

Extra income in excess of £10,000 will NOT generally be allowed unless such funding is to cover a Scholar’s contribution where an award is subject to a fee cap or is a part award

Scholarship can be taken in the UK

Eligibility: To be eligible for a Chevening Award applicants must:

Be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country
