Applications for prestigious Chevening Scholarships to study in the UK are open from 5 August to 7 October 2025. The programme offers fully funded master’s degrees at UK universities to individuals who are ready to lead positive change in their home countries and around the world. 
For more than 40 years, Chevening has attracted hundreds of thousands of applications globally. Successful applicants are individuals who can clearly demonstrate outstanding leadership, influence, and networking skills through compelling, evidence-based examples. 
British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Sarah Cooke said,“The Chevening Scholarship programme continues to empower Bangladesh’s brightest minds, fostering leadership and innovation. We are proud to support these talented individuals as they pursue world-class education in the UK, building bridges for a stronger, more connected future.”  
Since the programme started in 1983, more than 372 Bangladeshi individuals have been awarded Chevening scholarships, demonstrating the UK’s commitment to developing the leaders of tomorrow.

Chevening is the UK Government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and partner organisations. The scholarships support one-year taught master's degrees at UK universities for individuals with demonstrable potential to become future leaders, decision-makers, and opinion formers. 
Chevening began in 1983 and has developed into a prestigious international awards scheme. Chevening Scholars come from over 160 countries and territories worldwide. There are over 60,000 Chevening Alumni around the world who comprise an influential and highly regarded global network.
