Eligibility Criteria | Chevening Scholarship 2025
Your gender, age (there is no upper age limit), sexual orientation, religion, marriage or parenthood status, caste, class, or other attributes do not matter to us. What matters is your ability to submit a thoughtful application that demonstrates you are capable of excelling on an intense master’s course in the UK, and that you have a clear vision for your future. General eligibility may include;
Applicants must be a citizen of a Chevening-eligible country applying to study at any UK university for the 2025 academic session.
Applicants must be willing to return to their home country or territory after the completion of their studies for a minimum of two years.

different depending on the applicant’s course and university choice. Applicants can apply to three different eligible UK university courses and receive an unconditional offer from at least one of them.
