The Chevening Scholarship brings immediate benefits for individual scholars and long-term benefits for the UK and Pakistan by creating a wealth of shared knowledge and skills.“Very few get the opportunity to study in the UK at this level. I hope that those who do develop an appreciation of UK policies and approaches and bear these in mind when contributing to developments in their country.”The Pakistan remains one of the top priority countries for Chevening awards.
