UK Government Opens Chevening Scholarships for
Indian Students
Indian students keen to pursue masters degree
programmes in the UK have an opportunity to apply
for the prestigious Chevening Scholarships
2021-22 announced on Aug. 3. These are sponsored
by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development
Office and its partner organisations. Selected
students will be awarded scholarships to study in
the country for one year on a completely funded
masters degree course. Aside from the waiver on
the tuition fee, successful candidates get to
experience quality education at top UK
universities, get special chances to network, and
also an opportunity to discover the countrys
diverse culture. The international scholarship
scheme has been churning out potential global
leaders since 1983, with an alumni group of over
50,000. Scholarship winners get full tuition
fees, the cost of one visa application, an
arrival allowance, a monthly stipend, a homeward
departure allowance, a travel grant to attend
Chevening events in the UK, and to and fro travel
costs.

An applicant needs to have at least two years of
work experience. He/she must also apply to three
eligible UK university programmes and should have
received an unconditional offer from one of these
by July 14, 2022. The candidate must also return
to his/her country of citizenship for a minimum
of two years after the scholarship
ends. Completing an undergraduate degree is also
a must for getting onto a postgraduate programme
at a UK university. The courses chosen should be
full-time, must start in September/October and
need to be taught masters (i.e. not
research-focused masters in research
programmes). The application deadline is Nov. 2,
2021, after which applications will be sifted
based on eligibility criteria. Independent
reading committees will evaluate all eligible
applications and then share their assessment with
local British Embassies or High Commissions. This
process will be conducted from mid-November to
December 2021. From early to mid-February 2022,
applicants will be shortlisted for interviews and
from February to April 2022, shortlisted
candidates will be required to submit two
references and their education documents before
their interview date. Results will be declared in
June 2022. One of the largest scholarship
schemes globally, Chevening India offers up to 65
fully paid scholarships and 65 fully paid
fellowships each year. Applicants from India can
choose any course of study, including foreign
policy, climate change, defence, security, urban
development, research, innovation, trade and
investment, and economic reforms. The English
language requirement was done away with in 2020.
However, it is mandatory to meet all criteria
from the chosen university and have an
unconditional offer from one of the three course
choices by the deadline. Visit us -
