Chevening in Iran

Chevening is the UK Government’s prestigious international scholarships programme.  

Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and partner organisations, we offer exceptional future leaders the opportunity to further their education in the UK, so that they can drive impact in areas of shared priority for the UK and their home countries.

At a time of unprecedented global challenges, the Chevening network offers a real cause for hope. Our community of leaders and decision-makers is already making a measurable impact in areas like climate action, economic prosperity, and conflict recovery.

Chevening’s vision

You should take independent advice about how your participation in the Chevening scheme might be perceived in your own country, including the possible reaction of your own Government as well as any related risk. You should also refrain from publicly advertising your application, including on social media. 

How to apply

If you’re ready to join a global network of leaders working with the UK to shape a more resilient, prosperous, and sustainable future, explore our applicant resources.

To apply, you will need:

1. To meet our eligibility criteria

3. Have an email address and phone number
4. Make a note of your unique access code for the online application system – you will need this at each stage of the application process

Additional awards

Did you know: Chevening partners offer additional scholarships and every year, some go unfilled. With fewer applicants competing for these opportunities, applying for a partner award may increase your chances of being selected.
