Tom Heaps and Hanar Marouf Discuss Chevening Scholarship 2025

Tom Heaps, Head of the Political Section and Hanar Marouf, a Political Officer from the British Consulate in Erbil,  joined The Breakfast Club  to discuss the Chevening Scholarship—a prestigious UK government scholarship program that supports future leaders and influencers from around the world.

Although the British Consulate in Erbil is involved in a wide range of projects and programs aimed at strengthening UK-Iraq relations, the main focus of the discussion was the Chevening Scholarship—an opportunity that offers fully funded master's degrees in the UK.

Dr. Hanar and Mr. Tom shared valuable insights and tips for prospective applicants, including how to write a strong application and what the selection panel looks for in candidates. The conversation aimed to encourage more young professionals from the Kurdistan Region and beyond to apply and take advantage of this life-changing opportunity.
