Chevening Scholarship
Chevening Scholarships enable outstanding emerging leaders from all over the world to pursue a one-year Masters degree in the UK. Chevening looks for the kind of people who have the passion, ideas, and influence to provide the solutions and leadership needed to create a better future.
We are a proud partner of Chevening, co-funding ten Chevening/York Partnership Awards available to candidates from all Chevening-eligible countries (chevening.org).
These particular awards are being offered in addition to the main Chevening Awards at York. The top ten successful candidates will be offered a partnership award, and all other successful candidates will receive a Chevening Award through the main programme.
All applicants who wish to be considered for one of these ten extra awards at York are encouraged to select the university as their first preference within their Chevening application.
