Chevening Scholarship applications for study in the UK are open from August 2 to November1, 2022.
You can submit your application via the Chevening website.
Chevening Scholarships are given to people from all walks of life who can prove they have the drive and aptitude needed to effect change, and who can articulate how a master’s degree from the UK will enable them to do so. The scholarship provides full financial assistance for scholars to pursue any suitable master’s degree at any UK university while also giving them access to a variety of privileged academic, professional, and cultural experiences.
Over 50,000 professionals have had the chance to advance in the UK since the program’s inception in 1983 thanks to Chevening. For the academic year 2023/2024, there are more than 1,500 scholarships available worldwide, highlighting the UK’s continuous dedication to fostering the next generation of leaders.
Naomi Rayner, Head of Scholarships at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), said:
“As the world continues to tackle major global issues such as climate change, international cooperation is more essential than ever. Chevening seeks to build an international community of people who are committed to working together to drive positive change. We do this by bringing together incredible people from around the world and supporting them, through education, to achieve their goals.
“In the UK we are proud of our world class universities and we know that our learning environments are enriched by the wide diversity of cultures, experiences and viewpoints represented on our campuses. Chevening scholars make a significant contribution to these communities, as well as becoming an important part of our network of over 50,000 alumni.
“Chevening represents the very best of the UK, welcoming people from across the world to study, grow, and thrive. Being a part of the Chevening network instils a strong sense of pride and responsibility. I am consistently inspired by the passion and commitment of those in the Chevening community and I look forward to hearing from this year’s applicants.”
Ms Lucia Wilde, Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Turkmenistan, said:
“If you are someone who is passionate about driving change, whether on a local or global scale, if you want to be the best at what you do and if you have the imagination to inspire others, then a Chevening scholarship could be the perfect opportunity for you.
“There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ scholar. Your age, race, gender, religion and cultural background do not matter to us. We want to see that you have energy, curiosity, compassion a clear vision for your future and the ability to achieve your goals. If this sounds like you, then you are very likely to fit in with our community of over 50,000 alumni worldwide.
“Our alumni network is full of dynamic influencers who have shared the same experience that you will. They can offer encouragement, mentorship, advice, and contacts. When you return home after your studies you should feel well-equipped to start making a real difference professionally or socially.
“There is a lot to gain from submitting a thoughtful application, so if you have what it takes to be a Chevening Scholar, I would encourage you to apply before the 1 November deadline.”
The request for new applicants comes after two Turkmen scholars were chosen and given awards to attend a UK university this year. Through the hashtag #ChosenForChevening, successful applicants have been sharing their personal narratives.
