The applications for the Chevening scholarship to study in the UK opened on Tuesday and the applicants can apply until November 2, 2021.
Head of Communication and Public Diplomacy at the British High Commission, Fouzia Younis, said: “If you want to inspire others, learn new ideas and help shape the future then the Chevening Scheme is for you, ” according to a statement issued by the UK High Commission.
She said that Chevening provides opportunities for all. “For the last two years, we have smashed our 50% target on gender with talented Pakistani women forming nearly 60% of our intakes; and I encourage even more applications from across Pakistan and minority groups. There are no limits on ambition,” she further said.
Applications should be submitted via www.chevening.org/apply, according to the statement. Chevening scholarships are awarded to individuals from all backgrounds who can demonstrate that they have the commitment and skills required to create positive change, and can show how a UK master’s degree will help them do that.
The scholarship offers full financial support for scholars to study for any eligible master’s degree at any UK university whilst also gaining access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional, and cultural experiences, the statement said. Since the programme was created in 1983, over 2,000 professionals from Pakistan have had the opportunity to develop in the UK through Chevening.
The call for new applicants follows the selection of 37 scholars from Pakistan, who won an award to study at a UK university this year. Successful applicants have been sharing their stories through the #ChosenForChevening hashtag on Twitter and Instagram.
