More Nigerians to benefit as UK Chevening scholarship commences

More Nigerians are expected to access scholarship following the announcement by the United Kingdom (UK) government that funding for Chevening in Nigeria and around the world will triple for 2015/16.

Last year, Chevening celebrated its 3oth anniversary where over 1,000 Nigerians have benefitted from the Chevening scholarships and many are now in leadership positions across the country.

Applications are now being taken for the UK Chevening Scholarships Scheme for the 2015/16 academic year. The scholarships are awarded to individuals with leadership potential and strong academic qualifications, to read a one-year Master’s degree in any subject at any UK university.
