Students who want to pursue higher education in the UK can apply for the Chevening Scholarships. The applications for the same started on August 2 and will continue until November 1.
Chevening scholarships provide financial support to eligible students who wish to pursue their Master’s degree in the UK. Besides the financial support, students also get new opportunities and exposure to various academic, professional, and cultural experiences.
There is no barrier related to religion or caste in applying for this scholarship. However, there are certain terms and conditions that one must adhere to in order to be eligible for the scholarship.
One of the prime factors which account for the student’s eligibility is the fact that students must be able to clearly explain why a Master’s degree from a university in the UK can be beneficial to them, as well as the contributions they would like to make using their knowledge for their homeland.
Apart from this, students need to show that they have the required skills and the determination to bring about some changes in their communities and society; they can also discuss some strategies for the same in brief.
