The scholars will study various topics, including
international relations, conflict, security, and development, public policy,
digital business, innovation, and management, strategic communications,
pharmaceutical engineering, international public health, robotics, and
economics. These educational fields will equip them with the necessary skills
to make a difference in Jordan when they return.
During the reception, the British
Ambassador said: “As we
look to the second centenary of UK friendship with Jordan, the prestigious
Chevening Scholarships are one of our most important tools for supporting and
building links with the talented next generation of Jordanian leaders. We hope
that these scholarships will not only create new personal, academic, and career
opportunities for the scholars but also establish a link of friendship with the
UK which will last a lifetime.”
Chevening Scholarships are part of the UK Government’s
global scholarship program, funded by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development
Office and partner organizations.
In Jordan, the application process for scholarships is
highly competitive. Last year, the Embassy received over 800 applications, 55
candidates were shortlisted for interviews, and 16 scholarships were awarded.
The scholarship offers full financial support for future
leaders to study in any eligible master’s degree at any of the UK’s
world-leading universities.
Applicants must have leadership skills and at least two years of work experience.
So far, a total of 615 students have been sent from Jordan
to study in the United Kingdom, and many of them now occupy prominent positions
in areas such as government, politics, science, and business.
Currently, more than 1,500 scholarships are on offer
globally for the next academic year, representing a significant investment from
the UK Government in developing the leaders of tomorrow.
Chevening applications for the 2022/2023 academic year are
currently open until November 2. Applications should be submitted via
