Chevening Scholarships for Egyptian Nationals

Overview

The British Chevening Scholarships, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, are prestigious awards enabling future leaders to study in the United Kingdom and join an international network of future fellow leaders.

The scholarships are offered in more than 150 countries and give talented graduates and young professionals the opportunity to become familiar with the UK and gain skills which will help them make an outstanding contribution in their field. The scholarship will also introduce them to a network of fellow future leaders and decision-makers.

The British Embassy in Egypt is offering a number of Chevening Scholarships to enable Egyptian nationals to undertake postgraduate study in the UK during the academic year 2011/2012.

We are looking for truly outstanding future leaders, who can not only prove academic excellence and fluency in English but can demonstrate that they have already made an impact in their field and that they will continue to do so in the future.

The scholarships

We are now accepting applications for the Chevening Scholarship Scheme for the Academic year 2011/2012.


The scholarships are fully funded and cover course fees, living allowance and return airfare. The scholarships are for postgraduate study of up to a maximum of twelve months. Most scholars undertake Masters programmes, but awards to pursue short courses or research for between three to twelve months are also offered.

Applications are invited for study in all subject areas, however priority will be given to the following: Conflict Resolution, Human Rights and Good Governance, Politics and International Law, International Relations, Environment, Economics, Finance and Banking, Media and Journalism, Energy, Public Administration, and Management.

Competition for scholarships is very high. The selection process is rigorous and includes short-listed candidates attending a demanding interview in which a panel will assess whether they can satisfactorily prove that they have already made an impact in their area of specialism and that they will genuinely be future leaders.

The criteria

Only applicants who meet the following criteria will normally be considered:

• A university degree, usually A grade (but in exceptional circumstances B grade considered)
• Minimum of 3 years post-graduate in which they have shown a track record of leadership and impact
• Excellent command of English
• 25 years old and above
• Good health and free from all military or official service requirements
