Chevening Scholarships are the UK government鈥檚 global scholarships programme. It aims to bring future leaders, decision-makers, and opinion-formers to the United Kingdom for postgraduate studies of up to 12 months at a formative stage in their careers.

While encouraging Paraguayan professionals to apply, HM Ambassador to Paraguay Dr. Jeremy Hobbs said: 鈥淐hevening is the best investment we can make in the future of Paraguay and UK-Paraguay relations.鈥� The Chevening programme is a great opportunity for future leaders in Paraguay to study at a British university, benefiting from a world-class education. It is also an opportunity to join a prestigious, influential global network of leaders and policy makers around the world. This year we have significantly expanded the Chevening programme in Paraguay this year.
