Last night I had the pleasure of attending the “Evening with Chevening” event at the British Embassy in Jakarta. This gathering was extra special as it marked the 40th anniversary of the Chevening Scholarship program, a UK government initiative that has been empowering future leaders worldwide since 1983. Over the past four decades, Chevening has built a global network of more than 57,000 alumni, including 20 current or former heads of state.
In Indonesia, the impact of Chevening is significant, with numerous scholars benefiting from the opportunity to pursue fully funded master’s degrees in the UK. The program covers university tuition fees, a monthly stipend, travel costs, and more, allowing scholars to focus entirely on their studies and personal development. Attending the event was a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow alumni and celebrate the program’s ongoing commitment to nurturing leadership and fostering positive change in Indonesia and beyond.
