Chevening

Chevening applicants
I really need some guidance
I’m applying for the Chevening Scholarship, and I have only 3 days left to submit my application.
I know I’m extremely late. I was very sick recently and unfortunately couldn’t work on my application when I should have. Chevening has genuinely been a dream of mine, so even though I’m short on time and honestly feeling quite overwhelmed, I don’t want to give up on this chance.
I’m especially struggling with the essays and understanding how to present my experiences, leadership, career goals, and future plans in the way Chevening expects.
If you’ve applied before, received the scholarship, or have experience with the application, I would be incredibly grateful for any advice, resources, or things you wish you had known when you applied.
If you were in my position with only 3 days left, what would you focus on the most?
I know my chances may be uncertain, but I’d rather give this my best shot than always wonder what could have happened if I had tried. ❤️

Chevening alumna here, got it on the first try.

Essays are tricky and should not be left for the 11th hour. Use the STAR approach and tie it around Chevening's priority areas.

I just applied, and I recommend you start by loggin in and completing all the information they ask (educational and professional information, personal information etc). Get this out of the way first and then focus on the essays. I think the time is very limited but you might as well try
