Chevening/University of Hull Scholarships
Chevening is the UK’s leading global Masters scholarship programme, managed by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Chevening is open to students from over 160 countries worldwide, and Chevening Scholars are renowned for demonstrating great potential to become future leaders, decision-makers and opinion-formers in their own countries.
The University of Hull has received Chevening Scholars for over 20 years and in 2021 has now become a full Chevening Partner leading to the creation of five Chevening/University of Hull Scholarships. For the 2022/2023 academic year these scholarships will cover full tuition fees for up to five students.
We accept applications submitted by students from any of the 160 eligible countries with a preference for students from Mexico, Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia in the 2022/23 academic year.
