A list of those countries and territories is set out in the following list. In the last Financial Year more than 1,800 new Chevening Scholars arrived in the UK to begin their studies. The amount spent on the Chevening Scholarships Programme in the 1997–98 Financial Year was £32 million. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office contributed about £15.5 million of this and the Department for International Development, £12.5 million. The remaining £7 million was raised by co-sponsors. The names and occupants of Chevening Scholars cannot be disclosed for reasons of personal privacy.
