Chevening Scholarship

Please note that the Chevening Scholarships are now open for application for the 2026/27 academic year. 

Chevening Scholarships are the UK government's global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and partner organisations. The scholarships are awarded to outstanding scholars with leadership potential. Awards are typically for a one year Master’s degree at universities across the UK. There are over 50,000 Chevening Alumni around the world who together comprise an influential and highly regarded global network.

For further information, please refer to the Chevening website.

• Chevening Scholarships are for talented professionals who have been identified as potential future leaders across a wide range of fields, including politics, business, the media, civil society, religion, and academia.
• Applicants should be high calibre graduates with the personal, intellectual, and interpersonal qualities necessary for leadership.
• Chevening Scholarships are available to students from more than 160 countries and territories worldwide. To see what countries are eligible for a Chevening scholarship, refer to the country pages on the Chevening website. &nbsp

 

University of Glasgow is committed to support as many self-funded students as possible which is why UofG discounts and scholarships cannot be combined with one another or any external sponsorship discounts (with the exception of Alumni Discount).

If you are offered more than 1 scholarship, the lower value award will be deleted from your account.

If you are unsure of whether you are eligible to apply, please contact scholarships@glasgow.ac.uk
