Overview
Applications are open for the 2027–2028 Chevening Scholarship in Djibouti, supporting eligible future leaders to pursue a one-year taught master’s degree in the United Kingdom.
Complete scholarship details
Chevening is the UK Government’s international scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and partner organisations. A full Chevening Scholarship normally covers university tuition fees, approved economy travel to and from the scholar’s country of residence, an arrival allowance, one visa application, a departure allowance, a contribution toward required TB testing, a travel top-up allowance and a monthly living stipend. Applicants choose three eligible UK master’s courses and must secure at least one unconditional offer by Chevening’s later course-offer deadline. For applicants in Djibouti, Chevening notes that there is no local UK visa processing centre and no local TB testing facility; successful candidates may need to travel to another country and should follow Chevening’s guidance on any discretionary reimbursement available.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be citizens of a Chevening-eligible country or territory and satisfy the rules for the Djibouti award, commit to returning to their country of award for at least two years after the scholarship, have at least 2,800 hours (two years) of work experience acquired after completing their undergraduate degree, hold an undergraduate degree that qualifies them for a UK master’s programme, have completed undergraduate study at least two years before the Chevening application deadline, and apply to three different eligible UK university courses.
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
Chevening’s official Djibouti award page was checked on 6 September 2026 and states that 2027–2028 applications are open until 6 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The official Chevening eligibility page and funding FAQ were checked for the current work-experience, degree, return-home, course-choice and standard full-award funding rules. The Djibouti page also states that successful applicants may need to travel to another country for UK visa processing and TB testing.
