I have studied English for years, and have gotten used to so called American English. But now, TOEFL is not a necessary any more. Chevening might change my accent now.

Chevening is the UK government’s flagship scholarship scheme, aimed at future leaders, high achievers, opinion formers and decision-makers. The programme funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and administered by the British Council, supports over 2,300 international students annually to study in the UK.
Many talented graduates and young professional Indonesians have been propelled along the path to success through the British Chevening Awards, which has seen over 850 scholarships awarded to Indonesians since the scheme began in 1984.

Competition for Chevening scholarships is intense, and only one in every 25 applicants is successful. A typical successful applicant would be:

*  A graduate with proven academic skills.

*  Committed to return to their country and contribute to the socio-economic development of their country through *implementing the new skills and knowledge acquired in the UK.

*  Established in a career, with a track record of excellence and achievement, and the prospect of becoming a leader in his/her chosen field. The vast majority of Chevening scholars are aged 25 - 35 years old.* Be able to show at interview that they possess the personal qualities to benefit from their scholarship and use it to succeed in their chosen career.

*  Have a clear idea how their scholarship will benefit their country on their return.

*  Have good English Language skills, as most UK Higher Education Institutions require a minimum IELTS of 6.5 for admission onto Postgraduate courses.

So IELTS is an important criteria for Chevening application.

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an internationally owned and globally recognised direct English language assessment of the highest quality and integrity readily available throughout the world.

IELTS is a highly dependable, practical and valid English language assessment primarily used by those seeking international education, professional recognition, bench-marking to international standards and global mobility.

IELTS is owned, developed and delivered through the partnership of the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.
