education, to achieve their goals.
“Chevening represents the very best of the UK. Chevening can be a transformative
experience, not just for the scholars, but for Bangladesh as they return and use the benefit of
their UK experience to make a positive difference in their chosen field. I wholeheartedly
congratulate 22 Bangladeshi Chevening Awardees from this year’s cohort. I am consistently

develop in the UK through Chevening. Chevening brings together leaders from more than
160 countries and territories, creating networks, friendships, and shared memories and
missions that span the world.
Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals from all backgrounds who can
demonstrate that they have the commitment and skills required to create positive change,
and can show how a UK master’s degree will help them do that. The scholarship offers full

financial support for scholars to study for any eligible master’s degree at any UK university
whilst also gaining access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional, and cultural
experiences.
Bangladesh has had over 330 successful Chevening alumni and this year a further 22
Awardees will embark on the programme. Chevening Scholars in Bangladesh hold
prominent positions in government, the private sector and academia.
