Chevening in Afghanistan
Study in the UK on a fully funded Chevening Scholarship
We are now inviting applications for 2025-26 Chevening in Afghanistan awards. Please note that the eligibility criteria have changed since last year. To apply, you must be a citizen of and resident in Afghanistan, and meet the general Chevening eligibility criteria.
Chevening is the UK Government’s international scholarships programme. Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and partner organisations, we offer awards to study in the UK for one year on a fully funded master’s degree course.
Successful Chevening candidates come from a diverse range of countries and backgrounds, but they all demonstrate the passion, vision and skills needed to shape a better world.
There are many benefits to being selected, including fully funded tuition fees, access to some of the best quality education in the world, exclusive networking opportunities, and the chance to explore the UK’s diverse culture.
At the end of your scholarship, you’ll join our diverse community of over 60,000 global alumni. You’ll return home equipped with the knowledge and networks to bring your ideas to life and thrive in your career.
