Brazilian Candidates Can Compete for Fully Funded Master’s Scholarships; Deadline is October 7

Applications are open for the Chevening program, which offers scholarships to the United Kingdom for Brazilians interested in pursuing a one-year master’s degree with full cost coverage. The initiative is funded by the British government and seeks people with leadership potential, regardless of their field of study or age.

In addition to covering university fees, flights, and accommodation, the program also promotes intensive cultural and academic experiences and creates a global network of alumni connected to the United Kingdom. Applications must be submitted online by October 7, 2025, on the official program website.

Who Can Apply for Chevening Scholarships?

The scholarships to the United Kingdom through Chevening are aimed at Brazilian citizens with completed higher education, at least two years of professional experience, and proficiency in the English language. The selection process seeks to identify leaders with potential for social, political, or economic impact who wish to return to Brazil after their course.

How Does the Selection Process Work?

The selection takes place in two phases:

Online application with submission of documents (diploma, transcript, CV, motivation letters);
In-person interview in English, held at the British Embassy or regional consulates.

After this stage, approved candidates must prove English proficiency (e.g., IELTS) and present offer letters from their chosen universities. All processes are conducted through the official Chevening portal.

What Does the Scholarship Cover?

The program offers full financial support, including:

University tuition;
Round-trip airfare;
Housing and living costs;
Academic and administrative fees;
Participation in events and conferences in the United Kingdom.

Scholars also have access to the global Chevening Alumni network, with over 50,000 members in more than 160 countries, enhancing their international careers.

Why Is It Worth Trying for a Chevening Scholarship?

In addition to studying at some of the best universities in the world, selected candidates return to Brazil with quality education, international networking, and professional recognition. The scholarship is highly competitive but transformative for those looking to make a positive impact in their field.

Cristiane Lima, director of Chevening in Brazil, emphasizes: “We want to take the future leaders of Brazil to study in the United Kingdom. The impact that they will bring upon returning is what drives us.”

Why Is It Worth Trying for a Chevening Scholarship?

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

A 38 m² prefabricated house for Airbnb was announced for R$ 57,990, with 25 m² of deck and pergola already planned: the project includes a bedroom, open-plan kitchen, and bathroom in a compact model.

With 26 m², a bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom, and even a closet in the same module, this modular house arrives whole on a truck, can be installed on the foundation, and is ready in a few days.

A couple with no construction experience transformed a shipping container into a modern house; the project includes a second floor with steel tubes, a facade with Plecoterm, an L-shaped terrace of 20m², and a 150 kg panoramic window.

NASA raises alarm: historic city is silently sinking while Kolkata, India’s former colonial capital, faces accelerated subsidence, sea-level rise, and increasing risk of floods, salinization, and urban collapse detected by satellites.

Minas is betting on asphalt made with old tires and promises to transform highways with more resistant pavement, less skidding in the rain, and 70 thousand recycled tires by the end of the year.
