Chevening offers a unique opportunity for future leaders, influencers, and decision-makers from all over the world to develop professionally and academically, network extensively, experience UK culture, and build lasting positive relationships with the UK.
Chevening is the UK government’s international awards scheme aimed at developing and connecting, global leaders. Funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations, there are two types of award – Chevening Scholarships and Chevening Fellowships – the recipients of which are personally selected by British Embassies and High Commissions throughout the world.
In 2016, two Maldivian scholars will travel to the UK on Chevening Scholarships to read for their Masters at leading Universities; the University of Manchester and the University of Bath.
