Eligibility

Students must be citizens of Cape Verde to apply for this scholarship.
The students applying will need to be going into their Master’s level degree. This scholarship is for Master’s degree students only. Undergraduates will have to apply for a different scholarship.
Three references or letters of recommendation will be needed attached to the application form.
Students can be studying or pick any study program there is no preference over which subject should be studied.

Requirements

All education documents and official papers will need to be turned in with the scholarship application form.

All individuals will have to be a citizen of Cape Verde who are now entering their first year of their master’s degree. This is a strict eligible rule, that means students that are undergraduates or Ph.D. are not a good fit for this scholarship.

References are needed for this scholarship process. That means each student needs to provide at least two references from two different individuals. The Chevening officials will not contact the reference individual if they have not completed or upload the reference. That is purely the job of the student to do.

Reward – Extra Benefits

The total reward for this is for a selected amount of students to win a full paid year of their master’s degree to attend a prestigious United Kingdom university. That means that as much as 40,000 euros of tuition and fees will be covered for the student.

Student Visa

A student visa is only needed if a United States student is accepted to this college. From there the two reserved scholarships that state either the students can be from Palau or the United States.

International students will be able to follow a general guide that can be asked for at the embassy or online through a government website about successfully applying for a student visa without trouble. As of right now, applying at the earliest convenience is important.

The routine route is that if a student is applying for admissions to a university that is no located in their own country, they will need to apply for student visa. However, EU citizens normally can attend a different school as long as the country is within the EU territory.
