BRITISH CHEVENING SCHOLARSHIPS 2008 – 2009

funded by the British government and administered by the British Council

Applications are invited for the British Chevening Scholarships for the academic year 2008-2009. Candidates from any discipline may apply but the scholarships are likely to focus on the following areas: politics, economics, environmental sciences, public administration, law, human rights, international relations and engineering.

Candidates seeking advice on courses in the United Kingdom which might best suit their needs should consult education.uk.org .Please note that some universities require course applications to be presented no later than 31 January 2008, so where necessary candidates should make their own applications directly and in good time. Please note also that admission to a course does not in itself make a candidate more eligible for a scholarship.
