The British High Commission and the British Council are hosting a seminar to answer questions about the Chevening Scholarship programme on April 7, 2011 (tonight) from 8:00-9:00pm in the Museum building on Medhuziyaaraih Magu.
This scheme is open to Maldivians wishing to begin studies in the UK from September 2011.
Chevening scholarships are prestigious awards that provide full grants for Maldivians to study at a UK institution of their choice, the High Commission said in a statement. The scholarship covers flights to the UK, course fees and all expenses associated with study, including accommodation and living costs.
The aim of the scheme is to enable current and future leaders to study in the UK and make a positive contribution to their home country after completing their studies. Students who want a Chevening Scholarship need to apply online before 30 April 2011.
