APPLICATIONS INVITED FOR CHEVENING SCHOLARSHIPS

REMINDER

“The Chevening Programme gave me a second chance for getting a Degree.  I finished school after my GCSEs and never thought I’d ever be able to study fulltime again.  Chevening funded my Masters course and provided a monthly living grant which enabled me to commit fully to my studies and complete my MBA in just 12 months.  Being back in a classroom and studying alongside other adults from places like Mexico and Russia was daunting initially but concluded as an enriching and invaluable experience that you would never get from distance-learning.” – Tara Wortley, St Helena Chevening Scholar (2013)

 

The Chevening Secretariat is accepting applications for 2016/17 Chevening Scholarships via www.chevening.org/apply – until Tuesday 3 November 2015.

Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals with strong academic backgrounds who also have demonstrable leadership potential. The scholarship offers financial support to study for a Master’s Degree at any of the UK’s leading universities and the opportunity to become part of an influential global network of 44,000 alumni.

 

There are approximately 1,500 Chevening Scholarships on offer globally for the 2016/2017 academic cycle, representing a significant investment from the UK Government to develop the next cohort of global leaders.

For more information, visit www.chevening.org/faqs for details on the eligibility criteria and award specifications – or contact Manager of the Governor’s Office, Sandra Sim, on tel: 22308 or email: sandra.sim@sainthelena.gov.sh

 

Chevening Scholarships are funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The scholarships support study at UK universities – mostly for one year Master’s Degrees – for individuals with potential to become future leaders, decision-makers, and opinion formers.
