The British Council is also providing six English scholarships in addition to this. The number of fully financed scholarships awarded for the one-year Master’s degree is the greatest to date, according to the UK government.

At the UK-India Week of the India Global Forum in London, Alex Ellis, the British High Commissioner to India, said, “In India’s 75th year, this is a fantastic milestone together.” “I am happy to announce 75 scholarships for Indian students to experience the best of the UK, thanks to the fantastic support from our industry partners.” This program is becoming more diversified since over 30% of Chevening scholars in India come from smaller cities or are first-generation college students, “he said.

As part of the celebration of India’s 75th anniversary of independence, HSBC, Pearson India, Hindustan Unilever, Tata Sons, and Duolingo are among the businesses sponsoring this effort.

Hitendra Dave, CEO of HSBC, said, “We’re thrilled to join with Chevening for the “Chevening HSBC Scholarship” initiative.

Our goal is to support young people who have the potential to lead and make decisions in their professions by utilizing the top-notch educational resources provided by this program. “We believe we have a key role to play in fostering leadership potential in the nation as a British bank with a long history and legacy in India,” he said.

As part of the 75 scholarships, HSBC India will fund 15 of them, Pearson India will fund two, and Hindustan Unilever, Tata Sons, and Duolingo will each fund one.

Since 1983, the UK government has offered 150 countries the Chevening Honors Program, an international rewards program focused on creating world leaders. With more than 3,500 alumni, India’s Chevening program is the largest in the world.

For a one-year postgraduate program, the fully supported scholarships cover tuition, living expenses, and travel costs. Candidates must have at least two years of work experience to be eligible for the award, and further information will be made available on the Chevening website.

According to the UK government, one of the cornerstones of the diaspora living bridge between the UK and India, which unites people through shared values and affinities, is education.

The number of student visas granted to Indian nationals in the year ending March 2022 was nearly double that of the prior year, according to the most recent official statistics.
