KATHMANDU, Sept 13: The applications for Chevening Scholarships to study in the UK are open between September 12 and November 7, 2023.

Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals from all backgrounds who can demonstrate that they have the commitment and skills required to become future leaders, and can show how a UK master’s degree will help them to create positive change in their country.

The scholarship offers full financial support for scholars to study for any eligible master’s degree at over 150 UK universities whilst also gaining access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional, and cultural experiences, according to the UK Embassy in Kathmandu.

Since the programme was created in 1983, over 55,000 professionals have had the opportunity to take their career to the next level through Chevening. There are approximately 1,500 awards on offer globally for the 2024/2025 academic year, demonstrating the UK’s ongoing commitment towards developing the leaders of tomorrow as Chevening celebrates its 40th anniversary year.

“Chevening Scholars, Fellows, and Alumni use the skills and knowledge they gain while studying in the UK to drive change, promoting better lives and safer places for people around the world to live, work, and thrive,” a press statement issued by the UK Embassy in Kathmandu quoted Emma Hennessey, Head of Scholarships at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), as saying. 

The call for new applicants follows the selection of twelve scholars from Nepal, who won an award to study at a UK university this year.
