UK partners with Uttarakhand Government to provide scholarships

Chandigarh, August 14

The UK Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Uttarakhand Government to offer up to five fully funded scholarships in the state for the next three years.

It was signed in Dehradun in the presence of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and British Deputy High Commissioner, Chandigarh, Caroline Rowett.

The agreement will see up to five Uttarakhand scholars, each year, receive full financial support to pursue a one-year master’s in the UK as part of the Chevening scholarships and fellowships programme.

“The UK is an excellent place to study, and I am pleased that our partnership with the Government of Uttarakhand will enable more young people to experience it,” said Rowett.
