The United Kingdom has announced the opening of applications for the 2026/2027 Chevening Scholarships, which will be accepted from Tuesday, August 4, until October 6, 2026. Funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and partner organizations, the Chevening Scholarship program offers fully funded one-year master’s degree programs at UK universities.
Established in 1983, it targets emerging leaders with the potential to drive positive change in their countries.

Successful applicants will be selected based on academic achievements, leadership potential, and commitment to making a lasting impact.
