Jakarta: Applications for UK’s prestigious scholarship scheme, Chevening, are open from 12 September until 7 November 2023. Chevening Scholarships are awarded to individuals from all backgrounds who can demonstrate that they have the commitment and skills required to become future leaders, and can show how a UK master’s degree will help them to create positive change in Indonesia.
The scholarship offers full financial support for scholars to study for any eligible master’s degree at over 150 UK universities whilst also gaining access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional, and cultural experiences. Applications are to be submitted via the online application form at chevening.org/apply.
2023 marks the 40th anniversary of Chevening Awards. Since the programme was created in 1983, over 55,000 professionals have had the opportunity to take their career to the next level through Chevening. 20 current or former heads of state or government have been Chevening scholars. There are approximately 1,500 awards on offer globally for the 2024/2025 academic year, demonstrating the UK’s ongoing commitment towards developing the leaders of tomorrow, including here in Indonesia.
“Indonesia is an incredibly important partner for the UK and Chevening is an excellent way of demonstrating the UK’s ongoing and long-term commitment to the relationship. We believe that by supporting the brightest talents to study and live for their masters degrees in the UK, we are equipping them with the tools to build the future of Indonesia and the world,” said British Charge d’Affaires to Indonesia and Timor-Leste, Matt Downing.
“If you are someone who is passionate about driving change, whether on a local or global scale, if you want to be the best at what you do, and if you have the imagination to inspire others, then a Chevening Scholarship could be the perfect opportunity for you. I look forward to seeing more Indonesians study in the UK as we advance our great partnership for years to come,” he added.
Head of Scholarships at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Emma Hennessey, “Chevening Scholars, Fellows and Alumni use the skills and knowledge they gain while studying in the UK to drive change, promoting better lives and safer places for people around the world to live, work and thrive”.
Hennessey added, Chevening represents the very best of the UK and the world and our scholars become part of the global Chevening network of over 55,000 alumni. I am always inspired by the passion and commitment of those in the Chevening community and I look forward to receiving applications from the next generation.”
While President of Chevening Alumni Association Indonesia 2023-25, Nadhila Renaldi, said that “I am thrilled to invite all aspiring leaders and change-makers to seize the opportunity that Chevening Scholarship offers. After my study at the London School of Economics & Political Science in 2020-21, Chevening has continued to be the main contributor for my personal and professional growth. It has helped me to explore a new career path in the financial technology sector as I strive to bring more inclusive access to finance for wider society and MSMEs. I also have the opportunity to collaborate with almost 2,000 Chevening alumni in Indonesia in my capacity as the President of the Chevening Alumni Association Indonesia (CAAI) 2023-25”.
“The Chevening Application window is open now and is your chance to embark on an extraordinary journey of knowledge, growth and global impact. Let's unlock the potential of Indonesia's brightest minds and shape a brighter future together,” Renaldi said.
There are around 2,000 Chevening alumni in Indonesia who are skilled professionals working in a range of fields, including helping to tackle climate change, championing gender equality, working in the media, industry, government, business, law and many other fields. Notable alumni from Indonesia include Minister of Home Affairs, Tito Karnavian; Novelist, Ahmad Fuadi; and Filmmaker, Riri Riza; Chairperson of Komnas HAM 2022-27, Atnike Nova Sigiro.
