Chevening in Afghanistan

Applications for the 2013/2014 Chevening Scholarships in Afghanistan are now closed.  If you have missed the 2013/2014 application round but are still interested in studying in the UK, useful information can be found on our Study in the UK page.

Chevening Scholarships in Afghanistan are for talented people who have been identified as potential future leaders, decision makers and opinion formers.  We accept applications from a wide range of subject areas, however, in 2013/2014 we particularly welcomed applications in the following fields:

  • International relations
  • Human rights
  • Economics
  • Security and rule of law
  • Governance

The scholarships not only offer financial support to study for a Master’s degree at the UK’s leading universities, but the opportunity to become part of an influential and highly regarded global network.

Since the Chevening programme’s establishment in 1983 there have been over 145 Chevening scholars from Afghanistan.

Further information on how to apply for a 2014/2015 Chevening Scholarship will be available soon.
