Earlier this year, former Chevening scholar and Afghan national Zainab Azizi decided to mentor students from her country who were planning to apply for the prestigious scholarship.
Chevening is a highly competitive government program that offers aspiring leaders from over 160 countries the chance to pursue a master’s degree in the UK, at no cost to them. Applications to the scheme are assessed on an annual basis.
Working alongside fellow alumni, Azizi hoped that they would be able to help other Afghan women secure the award and escape the misery that has enveloped the country since the Taliban seized control last year.
