Overview
Nicaraguan applicants can apply for a fully funded Chevening Scholarship for a one-year taught master's degree in the United Kingdom. The 2027–2028 Nicaragua round is open and closes on 6 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC.
Complete scholarship details
Applications are submitted online through Chevening's application system. Applicants select three eligible UK master's courses. The standard award covers tuition fees, approved economy travel to and from the country of residence, arrival and departure allowances, the visa application cost, a travel top-up allowance, a contribution toward TB testing where required, and a monthly living stipend. Chevening's Nicaragua page notes that there is no UK visa processing centre in Nicaragua, so successful applicants must travel to another country for visa processing; selected scholars may be eligible for discretionary reimbursement of some related travel costs.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants using the Nicaragua route must meet Chevening's current general eligibility criteria and work-experience requirement. Eligible courses are full-time, autumn-start taught master's degrees in the UK that normally run for 9 to 12 months; the application system calculates the required work experience against a 2,800-hour threshold.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
