UK Chevening and Commonwealth Scholarship awards

Overview

The British government has announced the 2026/27 cohort of Chevening and Commonwealth Scholars for several regions. In Uganda and Jamaica, the British High Commission hosted ceremonies for recipients funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees. While Uganda saw 36 total scholarship recipients across various fields, the number of Chevening awards for Jamaica saw a significant decrease compared to previous five-year averages.

Additionally, four Palestinian students from the Gaza Strip, currently residing in Egypt, were awarded Chevening Scholarships for the same academic year. The announcement was made during a ceremony in Cairo attended by the British Ambassador to Egypt, Mark Bryson-Richardson.
