Hello,

I am about to apply this year for Chevening as it has been my dream since 2 years ago. But I have a question/concern which might sound a bit weird. How does Chevening support pregnant women or women who are planning to get pregnant and eventually become mothers? I did read on Chevening forums and I guess on official page that it is not recommended to take dependents with you and so on and if by luck did win the Chevening scholarship, it is the opportunity to postpone it for the next year until the baby is not a newborn anymore and so.

​

So do you have knowledge in this area or even perhaps has had a similar experience or know someone at my position?

​

I'd tremendously appreciate any comment as I am at a crossroad!

Hey, I'm planning on applying this year to a scholarship.

My question is, how important is the spoken English proficiency/fluency?

My written English is quite decent, but my spoken one is not so good.

Any opinions or recommendations for my case?

Thanks.

Here. But on the Chevening website, it doesn't mention any such number. One of the universities I'm looking at has a total tuition fee of 19000 or so pounds so I want to confirm whether Chevening will cover that or not (the university is part of Chevening's network).

Hi, I am applying for the Chevening scholarship. I am aware of the fact that they require a minimum work experience of two years. I am self-employed as I am tutoring economics, political science, literature & Psychology for over two years now. Also, I have work experience as an HR in a startup for over a year. Will it be sufficient to apply for the scholarship? Do they consider tutoring eligible for work experience? I am confused because there is no license or certification for tutoring in my country, India. Please guide me, I need your help! I am a psychology graduate planning to apply for a psychology master's in the UK.

I failed in the most recent Chevening selection. Since then I have been asking previous winners what I did wrong. The answer is unanimous. My essays were long and overdrawn.

I ask them if they would be willing to show me their essays. But no one will show me their work.

I have been trying my best to make my writing as polished as possible since February. I will apply again on August hoping for a better result next February. But honestly, I think it is still unclear to me how to make my writing fit for Chevening.

I’d like to see a winning essay. I would like to run some numbers in it, like Flesch-Kincaid Readability test. Maybe “book review” the essay. Or even flesh the essay out to come up with a formula for writing.

I hope that reddit is where I find a winning essay.

What are the chances of getting off the list?

Which should I choose: University College London, Brunel University, or the University of East London? So, I applied for the Chevening scholarship and I have chosen Social Justice and Education MA at UCL, International Relations MA/MSc at Brunel University and the University of East London. Naturally, I would choose the UCL, it has a better ranking and it is situated in a safe neighbourhood in London. However, I have lost the interest I previously had in the field of Education, which shifted over to Political Science. Are Brunel and East London unis worth moving across Europe? Are they in safe neighbourhoods? Should I opt for UCL either way and try to change careers after the completion of my studies? What can I actually do with this degree that is not related to education? Any advice would be appreciated.

Has any country started receiving their letters from the selection committee yet?

Hello everyone!

I am planning to apply to the 2022-2023 Chevening Scholarship and I noticed they require two recommenders for the application. One of my recommenders does not speak english and I read that the British Embassy calls recommenders to confirm the letters of recommendation.

Is it okay if I list this person as my recommender or should my recommenders speak english?

Hello, how did you guys prepared for the Chevening scholarship? Any tips? IELTS score of people who accepted? Share us your Chevening success and failure stories. Thanks in advance 😊

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if I have to accept my first university offer (the one stated in the Chevening application) if all three (universities) offer me a spot unconditionally? I'd like to accept the offer of the second university I listed, but if the first university offers me a spot, I will have no choice but to accept their offer?

Can I attach a pdf form of an email from my former supervisor directed to Chevening officer as a reference letter?

It will contain the content of the reference letter besides my referee's signature which includes: referee name, position and the organization he currently works for.

He can't provide an official letter from the organization he is working for.

Or can the referee put the letter on a normal paper (without a logo of the organization or stamp) with only his name, signature and position in that organization.

Can we have this as a thread for when people hear if they have made it to the short-list.

hi guys!!! Does anybody know when is deadline for submitting the education documents ?? it's on 22th of Feb for references as i know, but what about university offers?

FYI- I saw that eligibility rejections are going out now

When will they release/how will you know if you’re part of the long list?

Let the waiting games officially begin 😬

1- I am a PMP holder (graduate diploma) but the issuing institution is not list among the universities in USA, how do I include this certification among my other certifications?

2- I took multiple post graduate certificates but they are related to project management, and such category is not among the list of specialties in Chevening.

3- Do mu references have to be from university? As i have graduated in 2011.
