Chevening in Russia

Applications for the 2013/2014 Chevening Scholarships in Russia are now closed.  If you have missed the 2013/2014 application round but are still interested in studying in the UK, useful information can be found on our Study in the UK page.


Chevening Scholarships not only offer financial support to study for a Master’s degree at the UK’s leading universities, but the opportunity to become part of an influential and highly regarded global network.

Last year, 13 Chevening Scholars from Russia studied in the UK. Scholarships are targeted towards a broad range of fields and disciplines, however priority areas may vary slightly each year. For 2013/14, we welcomed applications from candidates who wish to study for a Master's degree in the following academic fields:

  1.     Public Administration
  2.     Law and Legal Studies
  3.     International and Political Studies
  4.     Journalism (print and broadcasting media)
  5.     Environmental Studies and Energy Security
  6.     Architecture and Urban Design
  7.     Innovation and Economics

Further information on  how to apply for a 2014/2015 Chevening Scholarship will be available soon.

scholarships for undergraduates

Loans, scholarships and grants are important resources for college students seeking to make ends meet.  At the end of the day, college students rely on financial aid packages that contain all three types of financing.

Loans get the job done, but even though interest rates are low for college students, the money needs to be paid back eventually.  Grants and scholarships are coveted college cash sources, because the money you receive does not require repayment.

Grants are primarily need-based, reserved for students exhibiting the greatest levels of financial hardship paying for college.  Scholarships, on the other hand, usually reflect a high academic standard; so candidates are required to hold high grade point averages and do well on tests.

There are thousands of scholarship programs open to undergraduates, so qualifying may be easier than you think.   Your school’s financial aid office and your high-school guidance counselor are primary resources for up-to-date scholarship information.  Government agencies, professional associations, corporations and advocacy groups are all in the business of doling out scholarship dollars, so leave no stone unturned in your quest for college cash.

Each scholarship makes up its own rules, so don’t count yourself out for being different.  Student-specific financial aid is aimed at certain groups within the student body.  Your location, ethnic background, gender or some other unique feature might be your key to landing undergraduate scholarships.

Subject-specific scholarships promote excellence within certain fields.  High-need vocations use scholarship incentives to lure competent prospects.  Corporations sponsor industry-related scholarships that ensure a well-trained workforce for the future.  Your career ambitions might be rewarded with undergraduate scholarship dollars that zero in on your academic major.
