Applications for Chevening Scholarships to study in the United Kingdom (UK) are open between 12 September and 7 November 2023. Applications are to be submitted via the online application form at chevening.org/apply.

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.

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.

“There is no such thing as a ‘typical’ scholar. We want to see that you have energy, curiosity, compassion a clear vision for your future and the ability to achieve your goals. If this sounds like you, then you are very likely to fit in with our community of over 55,000 alumni worldwide,” said British High Commissioner to Jamaica, Judith Slater.

The call for new applicants follows the selection of 14 scholars from Jamaica, who received an award to study at a UK university during the 2023/24 academic year. Successful applicants have been sharing their stories via local media and through the #ChosenForChevening hashtag on Twitter and Instagram.
