Britain's award for future Singaporean leaders

Britain's award for future Singaporean leaders
We are proud to be able to offer Singaporeans the prestigious Chevening Scholarships. These are unbonded scholarships for one year post-graduate courses in any discipline at any UK university. The British Government funds the Chevening scholarships although they can also be part-funded by other sources.

To become a Chevening Scholar you must:

• Hold at least an upper second class honours degree.
• Not have studied for a degree at UK University before.
• Be willing to return to Singapore on completion of your studies.
• Have already embarked on your chosen career path.
• Be a leader, or potential future leader, in your particular areas of interest.

Applications to study in the 2010-2011 academic year are now open. Applications must be made via the e-Chevening website . The closing date for applications is the 18th of January 2010.

The British Council website has more background information . Non-Singaporeans should check for details of the scheme in their own country with the British Council office in their nation.

The Chevening Fellowship Programme

The FCO also runs Chevening Fellowship Programmes. These are three-month study programmes designed as training development opportunities for mid-career professionals.

For further information on the Chevening Scholarships and Fellowships, please call The British Council or e-mail us.
