Greenlandic bachelor’s degree holders can now apply for a Chevening scholarship to pursue a master’s degree at a British university during the 2027–2028 academic year.
This opportunity stems from a cooperation agreement signed on May 20, 2026, by Nivi Olsen, Naalakkersuisoq for Education, Culture, Sports, and the Church, and Victoria Elizabeth Billing, the British Ambassador to Denmark. The agreement gives Greenlandic students access to British scholarships for the first time and marks the beginning of a long-term educational partnership between Greenland and the United Kingdom.
“This is a unique opportunity for Greenlandic bachelor’s degree holders who wish to pursue further education at a high international level and become part of a global network,” says Nivi Olsen, who hopes that many will apply and subsequently use their knowledge to benefit Greenland’s development.
Chevening is the United Kingdom’s official international scholarship program. It is funded by the British Foreign Office and a number of partners and is aimed at future leaders who wish to pursue further education in the UK and become part of a global network of professionals and decision-makers.
The scholarships are intended for individuals who aspire to bring about lasting change in their home countries. Applicants from Greenland must, among other things, be residents of the country and also meet the program’s other eligibility requirements.
