Applications 2011/2012 Chevening scholarships should be made via this website. https://www.chevening.fco.gov.uk/CheveningApplications/CA_Start.aspx
As in previous years we are likely to offer full scholarships for one year Master degrees at United Kingdom universities and other professional institutions. The scholarships would cover living costs, tuition fees and return airfares.
Candidates should be aware that Chevening 2011/2012 is likely to be more closely aligned with delivery of the FCO's priorities. More information about these is available here

What is Chevening?
The Chevening programme, has, over 26 years, provided more than 30,000 Scholarships at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the UK for postgraduate students or researchers from countries across the world.
Many talented graduates and young professional Indonesians have been supported by the Chevening Programme, which has seen over 1,000 Scholarships awarded to Indonesians since the scheme began in 1984.
Largely funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), the Scholarship scheme also receives significant contributions from HEIs and other organisations in the UK, and from a wide range of overseas sponsors including governmental and private sector bodies, with which the FCO or its overseas Posts have partnership agreements.
The programme is managed by us, on behalf of the FCO, both in the UK and overseas.
