Overview
The 2027–2028 Chevening Scholarship round is open for eligible Benin applicants seeking a fully funded one-year taught master's degree in the United Kingdom.
Complete scholarship details
Chevening's standard scholarship includes tuition fees, approved economy travel, the UK visa application cost, arrival and departure allowances, a travel top-up allowance and a monthly living stipend. The official Benin page also notes that successful applicants may need to travel outside Benin for UK visa processing and TB testing because those facilities are not available in-country, with only discretionary reimbursement potentially available for some related travel costs.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must satisfy Chevening's current scholarship eligibility criteria and use the official Benin award route. Applicants should review the current country page and programme guidance before submission rather than relying on third-party summaries.
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.
Verification notes
Verified directly on the official Chevening Benin page and the current Chevening application timeline. Applications for 2027–2028 are open until 6 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC.
