Chevening and the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation
The Chevening / Jeffrey Cheah Foundation Scholarship will be open to nationals of Malaysia, who would normally be residents in Malaysia and be located there at the time of making an application.
One scholarship will be awarded to a scholar to study a master’s course related to medical, physical or life sciences at the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, or Lancaster University.
Successful candidates who are accepted by Cambridge or Oxford will be encouraged to apply for membership of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, or Brasenose College, Oxford.
How does the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation benefit from partnering with Chevening?
Apart from expanding the Foundation’s network through Chevening’s global network of alumni and its exclusive events, the partnership also supports the educational and professional aspirations of talented individuals in-country, which is a key indicator of corporate social responsibility.
