Other eligibility requirements

Chevening Scholarships are the UK government's global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FDCO) and partner organisations. The programme offers awards for outstanding scholars from around the world who wish to study postgraduate courses at universities in the UK.

The University of Kent has a long-standing relationship with Chevening, which has successfully placed scholars from all over the world at the university for many years. Kent is proud to be a Chevening partner, and offers three partner scholarships, in addition to the standard Chevening Scholarships.

To be eligible for a Chevening Scholarship you must:

• Be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country
• Return to your country of citizenship for a minimum of two years after your scholarship has ended
• Have an undergraduate degree that will enable you to gain entry to a post-graduate programme at a UK university. This is typically equivalent to an upper second-class 2:1 honours degree in the UK
• Have at least two years’ work experience
• Apply to three different eligible UK university courses and have received an unconditional offer from one of these choices by 13 July 2024
• Chevening Scholars must be based in the UK. Unfortunately, applicants studying Paris programmes are not eligible.
