2012/2013 CHEVENING SCHOLARSHIP

Applications for the 2012/2013 Chevening Scholarships have now opened and will close on Sunday 11 December, 2011.

For over 27 years, Chevening has provided more than 30,000 scholarships at higher education institutions in the UK for postgraduate students or researchers from countries across the world.

Funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), the scholarship scheme also receives significant contributions from higher education institutions and other organisations in the UK, and from a wide range of overseas sponsors, including governmental and private sector bodies.

Recipients of the Chevening Scholarship for 2010/2011, Larissa Brown and Katerina Kimmorley, are both attending the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), one of the foremost social science universities in the world, to further their studies in climate change.

The programme is managed by the British Council, on behalf of the Foreign Commonwealth Office, both in the UK and overseas.
