Acting British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Javed Patel has congratulated this year’s cohort of Chevening Awardees from Bangladesh.
A total of 22 Bangladeshi Chevening Awardees will soon be leaving for the UK to start one-year Master’s degree courses at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities.
Successful applicants will be sharing their stories under the #ChosenForChevening hashtag on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Javed Patel said the UK government’s Chevening Scholarships seek to build an international community of the people who are committed to working together to drive positive change.
“We do this by bringing together incredible people from around the world and supporting them, through education, to achieve their goals.”
Chevening represents the very best of the UK and Chevening can be a transformative experience, not just for the scholars, but for Bangladesh as they return and use the benefit of their UK experience to make a positive difference in their chosen field, said the acting High Commissioner.
“I wholeheartedly congratulate 22 Bangladeshi Chevening Awardees from this year’s cohort. I’m consistently inspired by the passion and commitment of those in the Chevening community,” said Javed Patel.
Chevening Scholarships applications for 2022/23 is now open.
