Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Chevening Scholarships – UK governments flagship programme – has made history in Uzbekistan with the announcement of the largest-ever cohort of scholarship winners this year. This significant milestone marks a momentous achievement in the field of education and international collaboration.

Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals from diverse backgrounds who can demonstrate the commitment and skills needed to become future leaders. Applicants must have a realistic and achievable idea to create positive change in their country and be able to demonstrate how a UK master’s degree will help them bring their idea to life.

The scholarship offers full financial support for scholars to pursue any eligible master’s degree at over 150 UK universities, along with access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional, and cultural experiences.

This year the UK government has increased the number of scholarships for Central Asian countries. Fifteen scholars are preparing to embark on their life-changing journey in leading universities of the UK, such as UCL, Queen Mary University of London, Warwick University, Birmingham University, University of Edinburgh, University of Reading and others. The areas of study vary from Public Administration, International Transportation and Trade, Comparative Education to Global Fashion Retailing, Health Management and Creative Industries and Arts Organisation. Additionally, one fellow from Uzbekistan was selected to undertake research at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies.

As these talented individuals prepare to embark on their educational journey in the UK, the Chevening Scholarships Programme stands as an excellent opportunity, fostering cross-cultural understanding and academic excellence. The success of this record-breaking cohort serves as a testament to the enduring partnership between the UK and Uzbekistan.

Applications for Chevening Scholarships to study in the UK are open from 6 August to 5 November 2024.
