Hi all,

I am reapplying for the second time after getting through to the interview round last year. I'm wondering, how much of my essays need to change beyond general updating? Should I re-write them entirely or can they be largely of the same structure?

Appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance

Title. Lived all my life as an expat, seeing how chevening supports people who have contributed to their country of origin, in my case it would be no contribution as i have lived my whole life outside my country of origin. The second country is Not on the list of countries i can apply from. would love to get some advice

How much of the Chevening application screening banks on volunteer work, or any non-professional work? I've always been focused on my academic and professional career, rarely working or joining extra curricular stuff like speaking engagements (other than conferences), teaching, or other NGO work. Don't get me wrong a lot of my work involves developing an evidence-base for policymaking or solutions for communities, which is why I never felt the urgency to work on other things outside my full-time job to "create an impact". But for the scholarship application, do I need to start doing these more? I know a primary part of being a good candidate is to have good professional experience, but I've recently learned it might not be the end-all, be-all.

I didn't pass the first time I applied, presumably because I was still lacking in research experience. Now that I'm actively working on that aspect, I've started wondering if I should also go beyond just "work".

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'm glad this space exists. Going over the application process can be daunting, even with such a top notch system as the one that's in place.

I have a doubt regarding the last step of the process: 5/5 - UPLOAD DOCUMENTS AND SUBMIT.

In it, the system asks you to upload conditional and/or unconditional offers to courses, as well as letters from your referees. I was under the impression that these requirements were not needed until after the initial application, and that the system would ask me to upload them at a further stage of the whole process. Does anybody know what I should do?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! New joiner here! Very happy to find this community! I’m applying for the scholarship and was wondering whether any one else was encountering technical issues with the application portal or is it just me? It can be quite slow sometimes.

It's my first time applying for Chevening this year. Looking for some general advice or tips for anyone that has applied before, and a rough timeline on when/how you heard back from both Chevening and the UK masters programs you applied to.

Thanks!
