When should I start applying for UK masters scholarships before my intake?

Will Chevening fund my undergraduate degree, PhD or distance learning course?
→No, the Chevening Scholarship does not cover undergraduate degrees, PhD or DPhil programs, distance learning or research-focused MRes courses. It funds eligible full-time taught master's degrees lasting 9 to 12 months that begin in autumn, so check every course you shortlist.
