Things to know

Mongolia has its own Chevening country page (chevening.org/scholarship/mongolia). A separate Chevening/Ministry of Education and Science of Mongolia (MES) Partnership Scholarship has existed with priority fields (international relations, climate/environment, business & innovation, governance/human rights) - confirmed for the 2024-25 cycle via Mongolia's Ministry of Education site; not confirmed whether this MES partnership track still runs for 2027-28.

Door for the 2027-start cohort already closed (6 Oct 2026). Next window opens ~August 2027 for the 2028-2029 cycle. Scholarship-benefit amounts (stipend, funding cap) came from third-party Chevening guides, not an official chevening.org benefits page opened this session - flag as unconfirmed if quoting exact GBP figures to a client.
