The British High Commission is calling on all future potential leaders, influencers and decision-makers to apply for one of its flagship scholarships under the Chevening Scholarship programme. Applications are open from 1 August to 15 November 2014. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Chevening Scholarship programme. As a real boost to Chevening for this anniversary year there will be a tripling of funding for Chevening Scholarships for developing countries in 2015-16. For Ghana, this means a likely nine places, as opposed to three for 2014-15. The aim of the Chevening Scholarship programme is to bring to the UK young people of great potential to be future leaders, decision-makers and opinion formers. It is named after �Chevening House�, the official country residence of the British Foreign Secretary. Under the scheme, preference is given to candidates already established in a career, with proven academic skills, and with the prospect of becoming leaders in their chosen fields.
