The British Embassy in Beirut announced on 10 August 2026 that applications were open for the UK government's 2027-28 Chevening Scholarships. Candidates were asked to apply through the Chevening website by 6 October 2026. Lebanese citizens and Palestinians residing in Lebanon were eligible under the Lebanon scheme in any subject area. The programme offers fully funded master's degrees at UK universities.

Lebanon also receives the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies Chevening Fellowship, offering mid-career academics and professionals five months of independent research at the University of Oxford on Islam and Muslim societies. Applications for that fellowship were set to open on 11 August and close on 6 October 2026.

The Lebanon scheme lists two local partnerships: the Chevening-Siren Associates Scholarship, in its sixth year, for one scholar in governance, international development, human rights or public financial management at a UK top-20 university; and the Chevening-Raffy Manoukian Scholarship, in its third year, for up to three scholars in information systems, artificial intelligence, computer science, STEM and similar topics at a UK top-10 university. The embassy has offered the Chevening-Rebecca Dykes Scholarship since 2017 to one female scholar each year in fields such as gender studies, peace and conflict studies, development and human rights, and refugee and migration studies.
