Overview
Applications are open for Chevening Scholarships for 2027–2028, providing fully funded support for eligible emerging leaders to undertake a one-year master's degree in the United Kingdom.
Complete scholarship details
The official 2027–2028 application timeline opened on 4 August 2026 at 11:00 UTC and closes on 6 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC. Standard Chevening Scholarship support includes tuition fees, approved economy travel, arrival and departure allowances, a monthly living stipend, the applicant's visa application cost and other specified allowances subject to the programme's current terms. Applicants apply through their country or territory route and must satisfy Chevening's current eligibility, work-experience and course requirements.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must meet Chevening's current eligibility rules, including citizenship of a Chevening-eligible country or territory, commitment to return to their country of award for at least two years after the scholarship, at least 2,800 hours of post-undergraduate work experience, and an undergraduate degree that qualifies them for an eligible UK master's programme. Applicants must follow the current country/territory and course requirements published by Chevening.
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 against Chevening's official scholarship page, current 2027–2028 application timeline, eligibility guidance and funding FAQ. The timeline explicitly states applications opened 4 August 2026 at 11:00 UTC and close 6 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC. A separate eligibility page contains a stale generic 'applications closed' footer, so current open status is taken from the dated 2027–2028 timeline rather than that footer.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
