ISLAMABAD: Applications are now open for Chevening Scholarships, a fully-funded award for students to enrol in a master’s degree programme at universities in the United Kingdom.

In a press release issued by the British High Commission on Tuesday, Acting High Commissioner Patrick Moody said, “The UK is home to many of the world’s best universities, and studying there helps you develop academically, professionally, and personally.”

Studying in the UK on a Chevening scholarship, however, is even better, he added.

Moody adds that not only is the master’s degree fully-funded, but the world-famous scholarship means that “you have been identified as the most promising of the next generation of opinion makers and leaders in Pakistan, and the world.”

“It could be one of the best decisions of your life, as you discover the best of the UK from the best universities in the world,” he said.

The call for new applicants follows the selection of over 60 scholars from Pakistan, who won an award this year.
