Athena Rose Joseph, Chandana Anjinappa, Niharikaa Naresh, Shweata N Hegde, and Sushma Shyamsundar will pursue fully funded one-year master's programmes at top UK universities this Sept.

Launched in 2024 through an MoU signed at Belagavi, the scheme will fund five women graduates — preferably from govt colleges — every year for three years.

Karnataka has been a trailblazer for several such initiatives," higher education minister MC Sudhakar said. Out of 1,827 applications nationally, 155 were from Karnataka. Supriya Chawla, head of the Chevening Scholarship at the British High Commission in Bengaluru, said: "Over 60% of Chevening scholars in India come from tier-2 and tier-3 cities and marginalised communities. We're looking for applicants who can demonstrate leadership, collaboration, and a strong personal story." Chevening, started over 40 years ago, has enabled about 3,900 Indians to study in the UK. The scholarship covers tuition, travel, visa, accommodation, and living expenses. Scholars must return to India after their course. Applications for the 2026–27 intake are open until Oct 7, 2025. —Miya Kennedy Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
