ISLAMABAD, Nov 3 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 03rd Nov, 2016 ) : British Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Patrick Moody Thursday urged the Pakistani scholars to apply for United Kingdom's prestigious Chevening Scholarships till November 8.

The scholarship offers financial support to study for a one year master's degree at any UK university and the opportunity to become part of an influential global network of 46,000 alumni.

Applicants must have sixteen years of education and two years work experience at the time of application. The Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Patrick Moody said, "Anyone who wants to challenge him or herself and develop his or her leadership potential should apply for a Chevening Scholarship.

I would strongly encourage everyone who is eligible to apply." In addition to the one year master's, the Chevening-Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) Fellowship and the Chevening/British library Fellowship are also being offered.
