Where can I find guidance for the online application system?

Guidance for the online application system including common queries can be found on our OAS technical issues page.

What education documents do I need to upload as part of my Chevening application?

Applicants can upload either their degree certificate or degree transcript, as long as it is an official document from your university that proves your degree and grade. We require the original documents which do not need to be translated into English.

Can I stay in the UK once my scholarship has ended?

Our terms and conditions require all scholars to return to their country/territory of award for a period of two years immediately following the completion of their award.

I need to request a change in my application to my name, date of birth, citizenship, or address. How do I do this?

If your query is regarding an issue that will not prevent you from submitting your application (e.g. a spelling error in your name, an incorrect date of birth, an incorrect country of residence), this may be dealt with after the application window has closed. Please ensure that you submit your application as soon as possible.
