PRESS RELEASE
British Ambassador marks the 25th Anniversary of the Chevening Scholarship Programme
The British Ambassador to
Sudan
, Dr Rosalind Marsden, held a reception on 4 February to mark the 25th anniversary of the Chevening Scholarship Programme.
In a speech to previous scholars and other Sudanese guests, Dr Marsden said,
“I am glad that the
UK
remains a popular destination for Sudanese looking to further their studies and that knowledge and skills learnt in the
UK
are being put to good use here in
Sudan
. This reminds me once again of the strong connections between the British and Sudanese people. I hope that the Chevening Programme will continue to strengthen these ties over the next twenty-five years.â€
Notes for editors:
Since its creation in 1983, the Chevening Programme has enabled over 200 Sudanese to continue their studies at
the world-class higher education facilities that are available in the
UK
. More information – including how to apply - is available at www.chevening.com.
