The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet has recently approved the “Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee-Chevening Uttar Pradesh State Government Scholarship Scheme.” This will open new avenues for meritorious students who wish to pursue their dream of pursuing higher education in the United Kingdom.
The State Higher Education Minister Yogendra Upadhyay mentioned that the scheme will award scholarships to five outstanding students from the state each year for a one-year master’s programme at reputed UK universities. The initiative will be implemented in collaboration with the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
