Chevening Scholarships Programme for Belarus 2012/2013
The British Government’s Chevening Scholarships are among the most prestigious awards available to international students for study in the United Kingdom. They offer an ideal opportunity for scholars not only to study their chosen subject, but also to meet and network with their peers in the unique learning atmosphere that the UK provides.
The scholarships are targeted at academically gifted high-flyers who have the potential to become future Belarus leaders, decision-makers and opinion formers. Most scholarships are for postgraduate Master’s degrees courses (MSc, MA, LLM) lasting for up to 12 months, but the option of undertaking a shorter period of study or research (minimum 3 months) is also available.
The programme is highly competitive. Applicants are assessed according to the merit of their applications, including their leadership ability, past achievements, qualifications (both academic and professional) and their English language ability. Successful applicants will demonstrate ambition, drive and leadership potential, a commitment to change and organisational development.
The scholarships are fully funded and cover return flights, course fees and living costs.

Selection procedures
The selection process is undertaken by the British Council in co-operation with the British Embassy Minsk.
Initial selection will be by open competition based on completed application forms. Other supporting documents (copies of diploma, references, transcripts) are not required at this initial stage. Shortlisted candidates will be requested to submit them at a later stage. Application forms will be reviewed and a shortlist will be drawn up by end of January 2012.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview in February–March 2012. Unsuccessful applicants will not be contacted. Those who have successfully passed the interview will be asked to take a formal English language test ( IELTS Academic) in March 2012.
Placement at a University
Chevening is a self-placement programme. If you are awarded with a scholarship, you will need to find placement at a UK university on your own. To find out about what courses are available in UK, please use www.educationuk.org.
