Why Choose Chevening?

The Chevening Scholarship Scheme, run by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, is in its 26th Year. It has built up a substantial reputation for selecting future leaders and includes many eminent people among its alumni round the world. 

In addition to the prestigious nature of the scholarship itself, and the opportunity to study at a top quality UK University, we also offer the opportunity for unparalleled networking. There are over thirty thousand Chevening alumni, and this website gives you a platform to network with them.

As well as virtual networking, there will be opportunities through high profile events organised and often hosted by our Embassies and High Commissions overseas, to have face to face contact with other alumni as well as with leaders in fields such as climate change or economic governance, from your home countries and from the UK.
