Applications for prestigious Chevening Scholarship to study in the UK are open from 5 August to 7 October 2025. The programme offers fully funded master’s degrees at UK universities to eligible individuals who are ready to lead positive change in their home countries and around the world.
For more than 40 years, Chevening has attracted hundreds of thousands of applications globally. Successful applicants are individuals who can clearly demonstrate outstanding leadership, influence, and networking skills through compelling, evidence-based examples.
Eligible Liberians are warmly encouraged to apply. Candidates must be Liberian citizens, hold an undergraduate degree, have at least 2 years of work experience and commit to return home after their studies to bring their skills back to Liberia.
Chevening Alumni in Liberia have gone on to achieve great professional success. Recent Scholars have secured senior positions in government, the private sector, international organisations and have founded their own high-impact businesses.
Joanna Markbreiter, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy in Monrovia, said:
“The Chevening Scholarship empowers Liberia’s next generation of leaders with access to world-class education opportunities in the UK. It is a challenging, but highly rewarding year. We seek Liberia’s very best and brightest talent, so the application process is rigorous and selection is strictly merit-based. We encourage applications from all eligible Liberians, including those from under-represented groups, such as people living with disabilities.”
Emma Hennessey, Head of The Scholarships Unit at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), said:
“Chevening’s highly competitive selection process ensures that those chosen to become Chevening Scholars represent the brightest and most driven individuals from around the world.
“If you can clearly demonstrate the skills needed to join them – outstanding leadership, influence, and networking skills – I strongly encourage you to apply. If you’re not quite there yet, I encourage you to take the time to build the experience that will make your application competitive.”
