The UK government has opened applications for the 2026 Chevening Scholarship, which provides fully funded opportunities for selected international students to study for a master’s degree in the United Kingdom. According to reports, the scholarship covers tuition and additional allowances, including support for flights and living costs, for successful applicants. The announcements also indicate that interested candidates in Nigeria can apply, and that the application process is now available for the 2026 cycle.
Both outlets describe the Chevening Scholarship as a UK-funded programme offering comprehensive financial support aimed at enabling postgraduate study in the UK. While the outlets highlight who can apply and the overall level of funding, they do not provide further programme details in the shared excerpts, such as specific eligibility criteria, deadlines, or the number of scholarships available. Applicants are directed to follow the application instructions and requirements provided by the UK Chevening programme for the 2026 intake.
