By Korea HeraldPublished : Sept. 1, 2013 - 21:13
The British Embassy here announced that it was accepting applications for the Chevening Scholarship for the 2014-15 academic year.
Some 600 people from 118 countries are expected to go to the United Kingdom on the prestigious scholarship. Awards are typically for a one-year master’s degree in any subject and at any of the U.K.’s leading universities.
The scholarship aims to support U.K. foreign policy priorities by creating lasting positive relationships with future leaders, influencers and decision-makers around the world.
Chevening alumni have an excellent record of rising to positions of leadership across a wide range of fields. Some work as politicians, journalists or in NGOs and think tanks. Others occupy senior positions in commercial organizations.
In Korea those include former Prime Minister Chung Un-chan; Chung Hee-sun, former director of the National Forensic Service; and Choi Kwang, chairman of the National Pension Service.
Since its launch in 1983, the Chevening Scholarship has given more than 1,000 Koreans the opportunity to study in the U.K. Worldwide, the number of recipients reached almost 50,000 in more than 150 nations.
Applications must be submitted online at www.chevening.org. Applicants should read the online guidance and demonstrate how they meet the Chevening selection criteria before submitting an application. Further details of closing dates are available on the country pages of www.chevening.org.
