As the application window for the prestigious Chevening Scholarships opened on 5th August, aspiring leaders from around the world are encouraged to begin to prepare their submissions.

This esteemed program, which has been attracting hundreds of thousands of applications globally for over 40 years, offers fully funded master’s degrees at top UK universities.

The Chevening Scholarship is more than just an academic opportunity – it’s a chance to join a network of influential individuals who are shaping the world and driving positive change in their home countries.

For those selected, the Chevening Scholarship is a life-changing experience. Successful applicants are individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, influence, and networking skills, and who are passionate about making a difference.

Through compelling, evidence-based examples, they showcase their ability to lead and inspire others, and to drive meaningful change in their communities. Whether it’s in politics, business, or civil society, Chevening Scholars are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and global perspective to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges.

The application deadline is October 7th, 2025, and hopeful candidates are advised to work hard to perfect their submissions. With so many talented individuals vying for a spot, the competition is fierce. But for those who are driven, passionate, and committed to creating positive change, the Chevening Scholarship offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study at a top UK university, build lasting relationships, and become part of a global network of leaders who are shaping the future.

Speaking about the scholarship, Emma Hennessey, Head of The Scholarships Unit at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), said “Chevening’s highly competitive selection process ensures that those chosen to become Chevening Scholars or Fellows represent the brightest and most driven individuals from around the world.

“Chevening Alumni use their world-class education, global networks, and confidence gained in the UK to create meaningful, lasting change when they return home, whether by tackling global challenges or making a tangible impact in their own communities.

“If you can clearly demonstrate the skills needed to join them – outstanding leadership, influence, and networking skills – I strongly encourage you to apply. If you’re not quite there yet, I encourage you to take the time to build the experience that will make your application competitive.

“I’m continually inspired by the dedication and drive of the Chevening community, and I look forward to seeing what the next generation of leaders will bring.”

Also speaking, Richard Montgomery, British High Commissioner to Nigeria, said that Chevening is more than a scholarship.  “It is a gateway to a global network of leaders, innovators, and changemakers. Whether your aspirations lie in shaping public policy, launching a business, or addressing the world’s most pressing challenges, the Chevening Scholarship offers a unique opportunity to pursue a fully funded master’s degree in the United Kingdom to advance your knowledge and skills.

“While there is no ‘typical’ scholar, we seek individuals with the passion, ideas, and influence to drive meaningful change in Nigeria and beyond. Our alumni network includes dynamic professionals across diverse sectors who are making significant contributions in their fields.

“If you have the potential to lead positive change in your community, Nigeria, or globally, I encourage you to submit your application before the 7 October 2025 deadline. Apply today and take the first step toward this life-changing experience.”

Prospective candidates are required to submit their applications via chevening.org/apply.
Before applying, candidates are strongly encouraged to review the resources available at chevening.org/guidance and assess whether they are ready to present a competitive application.

Since the programme started in 1983, over 60,000 professionals have advanced their careers through Chevening, demonstrating the UK’s commitment to developing the leaders of tomorrow
