British Embassy Offers Chevening Scholarships

This time of year is when the Embassy starts to seek applications for Chevening scholarships. These scholarships offer talented graduates and young professionals from Korea the chance to study for postgraduate qualifications at the UK's leading universities. They cover the costs of one year's postgraduate study in the UK. Over 800 Koreans have benefited from the scheme over the past 25 years and many have risen to very senior positions on their return to Korea. Indeed, Prime Minister Chung Un-chan studied in the UK on a Chevening award.

For the first time this year, we are also seeking applications from Korean students who want to study at the University of Cambridge for a special Chevening Cambridge Scholarship jointly funded by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Cambridge Overseas Trust.

The deadline for applications for both schemes is December 7th 2009. Please visit this website to apply: www.britishcouncil.or.kr/chevening
