Chevening and Allied Bank Launch Two Fully Funded UK Masters Scholarships a Year

The UK Government's Chevening programme and Allied Bank Limited have launched a new partnership that will fund two Pakistani scholars a year for three academic years, starting in 2027-28. Allied Bank is the first organisation in Pakistan to fund a Chevening partnership locally. The awards cover fully funded masters degrees at leading UK universities in fields important to Pakistan's future, including artificial intelligence, technology, cybersecurity, digital transformation, economics and financial inclusion.

Eligibility: Pakistani applicants to Chevening. The first two Chevening-ABL scholars for 2027-28 will be selected from the existing applicant pool for that cycle, so there is no separate application for the first awards.

Deadline: No separate deadline for the first awards. Applications for the 2028-29 Chevening-ABL Scholarships are expected to open as part of the Chevening cycle in August 2027, with studies starting in 2028.
