British Chevening Scholarships
These scholarships, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and administered by the British Council, are prestigious awards, which enable overseas students to study in the United Kingdom. Scholarships are offered in over 150 countries and enable talented graduates and young professionals to become familiar with the UK and gain skills, which will benefit their countries. The Chevening programme currently provides around 2,300 new scholarships each year for postgraduate studies or research at UK Institutions of Higher Education. Chevening runs two websites for people interested in the scholarship programme. About Chevening contains information and guidelines about the scholarship programme. If you are considering going to UK to study or if you represent an organization or business which is interested in the Chevening programme and the opportunities it offers, this is where you can find out more. It gives details on who is eligible for scholarships, how to apply and contains links to the entire UK education resource which will help you identify the right course of study for you. But if you are a current or past Chevening scholar or have recently been awarded a scholarship, become a member of Chevening Online - the heart of the Chevening community - by visiting the Scholars and Alumni site.

British Institute in Eastern Africa
The Institute exists for research and the encouragement and facilitation of research within its defined fields. Most researchers attached to or supported by the Institute are partly or largely funded separately. However, the Institute has in most years limited funds from which it may, at its absolute discretion, assist or supplement research expenses. Because of its own sources of finance, preference is normally given to scholars in Commonwealth and eastern African countries. Support offered is normally to help with actual field research expenses in the region; the Institute does not usually assist with transport to and from eastern Africa.
Enquiries about such grants or other assistance in research should be addressed to the Director at the Nairobi address. Applications should explain the nature and details of the proposed research and a budget, together with c.v. and the names of two referees able to advise on the applicant and the subject of research. The Institute also administers the Haycock Fund which, by the terms of a bequest from which it derives, is devoted principally to research on the ancient civilization of Meroe and related subjects in the region of the Middle Nile and north-eastern Africa (south of Egypt). Applications for assistance from this fund by suitably experienced scholars are invited and considered from to time, usually at intervals of a few years.
Those awarded grants are expected to keep the Institute informed on their plans and schedules, and to provide on completion of the research, or at intervals in the case of longer or seasonal projects, progress reports and summary accounts of the use of the funds.
Moreover, the Institute expects research, which it assists, or sponsors to lead to publication in suitable form as contributions to knowledge. Recipients of grants are asked to keep the Institute informed of all publications, lectures and publicity arising from such research and to submit copies for the Institute's library. The Institute's journal Azania may in many instances be suitable for such articles; the Director as editor of Azania can advise on this.
For information on grants awarded in recent years, from the general fund as well as Haycock, reference should be made to the Institute's annual reports.
