Chevening Scholarships — Likely Eligible
You have 2+ years of work experience, which is the key Chevening requirement. Fully funded — but extremely competitive (2-3% acceptance rate).
Commonwealth Scholarships — Eligible
Your country is a Commonwealth member state. You can apply for fully funded Master's or PhD scholarships. Note: you usually need a nominating body in your home country.
Women in STEM — Potentially Eligible
