Another fine example of UK contribution to the world.
(... and British Soft Power influence).

Should you know anyone who would wish to take advantage of this;

Applications for 2015/16 Scholarships will open on 1 August 2014. Chevening Scholarships are the UK government’s global scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and partner organisations. The programme makes awards to outstanding scholars with leadership potential from around the world to study postgraduate courses at universities in the UK.
