BRITISH CHEVENING SCHOLARSHIPS

Applications are now invited from suitably qualified candidates for the 2011/2012 British Chevening Scholarship Awards. These awards, tenable for a maximum period of twelve months, are for postgraduate study at a UK university and are valid for the academic year commencing in September, 2011.

 

Each year, under the British Chevening Scholarship Scheme, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office funds a limited number of postgraduate training awards. The aim of the Scheme is to contribute to the political, economic and social development of Nigeria. The Scheme is designed to benefit the country’s future leaders and opinion formers.

 

It is specifically intended for highly motivated younger professionals with a proven track record of outstanding achievement. Applicants will have already demonstrated the potential to make a significant impact on the future of Nigeria.

 

Applications will only be considered from candidates who:

have an upper-second or first-class degree;

have an outstanding career record to date;

 

We are particularly interested in candidates whose future career plans involve work that will support one or more of the objectives of the scheme.

 

We encourage exceptional candidates from all fields to apply.  Applications for a Chevening scholarship can be made using the online application system at  

https://www.chevening.fco.gov.uk/CheveningApplications/CA_Start.aspx

or via

www.chevening.com

Only online applications will be considered. No paper based application allowed.

Deadline for submission of completed application forms is 16 March 2011

Please note: funding is not available for Ph.D. programmes.

    University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has done great harm to its graduates, cos it churns out second class lower degrees with much pleasure and delight. Now, most of its graduates who are more intelligent and better equiped than their counterparts from other Universities, cannot even be given the oppurtunity to apply in most scholarship awards. Preferences are often given to First Class or Second Class upper degree holders. The numerous archaic lecturers in UNN should take note of this and rescind from this attitude.
