What Does the Chevening Scholarship Cover?

A Chevening Award provides financial support for eligible scholars during their studies in the UK.

Main benefits include:

• Tuition fee payment
• Economy return travel to and from the scholar’s country of residence by an approved route
• Arrival allowance
• Monthly stipend to help cover living expenses
• Support and opportunities through the Chevening engagement programme
• Access to a global network of Chevening scholars and alumni

The exact value and conditions of an award can vary in certain circumstances, so applicants should always check the official Chevening terms and conditions.

Who Can Apply?

Applicants should check the official Chevening eligibility requirements before applying.

Key requirements include:

• Be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country or territory.
• Have an undergraduate degree that enables entry to a postgraduate programme at a UK university.
• Have at least 2,800 hours of work experience acquired after completing an undergraduate degree.
• Apply to three eligible UK master’s courses.
• Meet the Chevening application and university requirements.
• Be able to obtain an unconditional offer from at least one of the selected courses by the required deadline.

There is no upper age limit for Chevening applicants.

Applicants should carefully review the official eligibility criteria because meeting the basic requirements does not guarantee selection.

Choose Three UK Master’s Courses

As part of the Chevening application, applicants must select three different eligible UK master’s courses.

Your choices can be:

• Three different courses at the same university, or
• Similar courses at different UK universities.

The courses must meet Chevening’s eligibility requirements. Applicants must also apply separately to their chosen universities.

To receive the scholarship, successful applicants must obtain an unconditional offer from at least one of their selected courses by the deadline specified by Chevening.
