Overview
- The UK Government has opened applications for the Chevening 2027–28 scholarships with a firm application deadline of October 6, 2026, and candidates must apply through the official Chevening website.
- Chevening funds one-year taught master’s degrees and typically covers full tuition, a monthly living allowance, travel and arrival/departure allowances, visa costs, and grants for Chevening events.
- To be eligible applicants must be citizens of a Chevening-eligible country, hold an undergraduate degree completed at least two years before the deadline, and have a minimum of two years’ post-degree work experience (2,800 hours).
- The application requires candidates to choose three eligible UK master’s courses, complete the online form, attend an interview if shortlisted, and upload an unconditional university offer by the programme deadline.
- India is Chevening’s largest national programme with about 4,000 awardees since 1983 and recent cohorts showing strong representation from tier 2 and 3 cities and a majority of women, which highlights the scheme’s broad reach and impact on career mobility.
