What you need to know about applying for the Chevening Scholarship 2020/2021

Application for the 2020/2021 Chevening Scholarship is open until 5th November, 2019.
If you are a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country or territory such as Nigeria, have a bachelors degree with a minimum of second class upper in ANY discipline, and have at least two (2) years of work experience already, and can meet the English Language requirement, you might want to apply for the Chevening scholarship to study at ANY university of your choice in the UK, provided that you do not mind returning to your country of origin after your studies. You won't be allowed to remain in the UK after your studies, neither will you be eligible to return there until at least 2 years after your graduation.

If awarded the scholarship, its not just your tuition that will be paid for. You will also get monthly stipends, t-fare to and from the UK, the cost of one visa application covered for you, among other allowances.

But to one of the youngest Chevening scholars ever from Nigeria, Funmi Oyatogun, the best part of becoming a recipient of the scholarship is the vast network you get to build and be part of after graduation as a member of the Chevening Alumni Network around the world. She shares tips and all the information you need to apply, write a winning essay, and excel during the interview.
Sometimes, you just need to hear from other people who have done it and succeeded.
