Chevening scholarships are awarded for one year Master degrees at United Kingdom universities and other professional institutions. Chevening scholarships are not applicable for PhDs, undergraduate studies or professional courses (e.g. ACCA, RIBA, ICSA etc) nor are they awarded for studies outside the UK, for distance learning or for part-time studies.

The 2012-2013 Chevening Scholarship Programme in Vietnam is closely aligned with the seven key areas of cooperation set out in the UK-Vietnam Strategic Partnership: political and diplomatic cooperation, global and regional issues, trade and investment, sustainable socio-economic development, education, training, science and technology, security and defence, and people to people links.

A full scholarship covers the cost for a UK visa, a return air ticket to the UK, all tuition fees (not exceeding £12,000 per year), and a monthly stipend and allowances. Candidates wishing to study a course with academic fees exceeding £12,000 per year should expect to part-fund their study.

The Chevening scholarships are funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in 160 countries. Currently, the scholarships enable more than 2000 talented future leaders study in the UK through the main Chevening Scholarships Scheme and the Chevening Fellowship Scheme.
