The United Kingdom and Uttar Pradesh signed the Chevening scholarship agreement on Tuesday, allowing five students each year to study in the UK with a fully funded scholarship. The agreement was signed during a courtesy visit by British High Commissioner to India, Lindy Cameron, to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow.
The British High Commissioner expressed confidence in the strengthening relations between the UK and India, mentioning the recently signed Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and Vision 35 as catalysts for numerous business opportunities.

“It’s wonderful to be here in Lucknow today to sign with the Chief Minister the agreement on the new Chevening scholarships which we’re announcing together between the United Kingdom and Uttar Pradesh. This will give the opportunity for five students every year for the next three years to go to the UK on a fully funded scholarship which is part of the fantastic and growing relationship between the United Kingdom and India,” the High Commissioner Cameron told ANI after the meeting.
Praising the FTA for creating business opportunities, Cameron added, “With the recent signing of both the trade agreement and Vision 35, the vision for the new relationship between the UK and India recently signed by our two prime ministers during PM Modi’s visit to the UK. So it’s great to be here talking about education and talking about the fantastic opportunities for business that the FTA will also allow us to explore here between the UK and India.”
Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and partner organisations, Chevening Scholarships cover tuition fees, living expenses, and return flights for master’s degrees at any UK university. Since 1983, Chevening has been the UK government’s flagship international scholarship scheme, aiming to develop global leaders.
To be eligible for the scholarship, students must hold an undergraduate degree suitable for a master’s programme in the UK. Applicants must apply to three eligible courses in the UK and receive an unconditional offer from at least one.
Selected recipients will have their university tuition funded, receive a monthly stipend, a travel allowance to and from the UK, and an arrival allowance. The cost of one visa application will be covered, and a travel grant will be provided for attending Chevening events in the UK. The application process for 2026-27 is currently open and will close on October 7.
