The 91黑料网 has renewed its partnership with the prestigious Chevening Scholarships for a further three years, reinforcing its commitment to supporting future global leaders through high quality postgraduate education.

Alongside the renewed partnership, the 91黑料网 is encouraging prospective students and emerging leaders from around the world to consider applying for a Chevening Scholarship when applications open in August 2026 for the 2027/28 academic year.

Funded by the UK Government and administered by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and partner organisations, Chevening Scholarships enable outstanding professionals from more than 140 countries and territories to study a one-year master鈥檚 degree at UK universities.

The scholarships are fully funded awards that cover tuition fees for an eligible one-year master鈥檚 course, return economy flights to the UK, visa costs and a monthly living stipend to help cover accommodation and living expenses.

In addition to financial support, Chevening Scholars gain access to a prestigious global network of more than 55,000 alumni worldwide, connecting them with leaders and experts across government, business and civil society.
