Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals who have the commitment and skills necessary to generate positive change in their community and can demonstrate that a master’s degree in the UK will help them achieve their professional goals in a strategic area for the development of their country.

This program offers full financial support (including tuition, travel and living expenses) to study a qualifying one-year Master’s degree at any university or institution of higher learning in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Likewise, associates have exclusive access to a range of academic, professional and cultural events during their stay in the UK.

Since its founding in 1983, the Chevening scholarship program has provided more than 50,000 professionals from around the world the opportunity to thrive academically in the UK.

For the 2023-2024 academic year, more than 1,500 scholarships will be offered globally, reaffirming the UK’s commitment to international development and training the next generation of leaders who can tackle key global challenges.

In the case of Venezuela, since 1983 more than 450 Chevening scholarships have been awarded to professionals from that country. For the academic period 2021-2022, a group of nine Venezuelan men and women were selected to study in the UK with Chevening, in areas such as medical microbiology, women’s health, public policy, social development, sustainable architecture, innovation and leadership. .

For the period 2022-2023, the priority areas of the British Embassy in Caracas include human rights (including freedom of expression, gender equality and strengthening democratic governance), humanitarian affairs, anti-corruption, sustainable development and climate change.

The Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Commonwealth and Development Grants Unit (FCDO), Naomi Rayner, indicated that “Chevening represents the best of the UK, welcoming people from all over the world to learn, grow and develop professionally.

He added that “being part of the Chevening Scholars network instills a strong sense of pride and responsibility. I continue to be inspired by the passion and commitment shown by the Chevening community and look forward to meeting my friends this year.”

The UK Chargé d’Affaires in Venezuela, Becks Buckingham, said that “the Chevening scholarship is one of the UK Foreign Office’s main collaborative programs. It uses the qualities of British universities to train talented individuals in strategic areas for the development of their home countries.”
