The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) hosts the Chevening Secretariat– the global scholarship programme of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). Established in 1983, these scholarships support Master’s-level study at UK universities for 1,500 – 2,000 individuals each year. The scholarships are currently offered in 140 countries in most regions of the world (excluding the United States of America and the European Union).

Chevening Scholarships support FCO public diplomacy objectives by attracting individuals who have demonstrated clear leadership potential in their home regions. Award holders are selected by Embassies and High Commissions in their home countries, following a rigorous competitive process. Chevening scholars are encouraged to remain in touch with the UK throughout their life, and Chevening boasts an alumni base of over 50,000 individuals, with many returning home to reach positions of influence in a range of sectors.
