DEADLINE – TUESDAY 3 NOVEMBER 2015
“I was awarded my Chevening Scholarship to start a Doctorate as a mature student in 2007. Chevening funded my fares, my fees and my first year of expenses – giving me the opportunity to study social policy at a high level in a top university and to optimise many of the new challenges and experiences that university life brought.
“I was able to meet new friends and colleagues from all over the world and build a network in social policy. Consequently I am able to make a meaningful contribution to social development on St Helena and make a difference in the lives of others.” – Dr Priscilla McDaniel, St Helena Chevening Scholar (2007)
The Chevening Secretariat is accepting applications for 2016/17 Chevening Scholarships via www.chevening.org/apply – until Tuesday 3 November 2015.
