scholarship scheme. It supports future leaders by offering talented Jordanians
the opportunity to enhance their skills and build their expertise in areas
vital for Jordan’s future, the statement said.
At the event, the ambassador congratulated the
awardees on the successful completion of their scholarship under challenging

“We are delighted to celebrate the success of our returning
Chevening Scholars of 2021 and 2022,” said Brind. “They have advanced their
qualifications and skills in a variety of fields in world-class British
universities under unprecedented circumstances around the COVID pandemic. I’m
inspired by their determination and resilience to succeed.”
“We are delighted that Jordanian Chevening Scholars and UK Alumni hold a range of senior positions across government, business, and civil society. Our goal is to support those who are working to help Jordan reach its full potential.”
“I’m proud that Chevening Scholars have returned as future
leaders to grow Jordan across a wide range of fields, including development, climate
change, entrepreneurship, politics, energy, gender equality, and more,” she
continued.
“We look forward to continuing to support their
careers through our global alumni network and we are delighted that Jordanian
Chevening Scholars and UK Alumni hold a range of senior positions across
government, business, and civil society. Our goal is to support those who are
working to help Jordan reach its full potential."
The Chevening award is the UK government’s global
scholarship scheme. Since 1983, Chevening has helped to build bridges with more
than 160 different countries and territories, supporting the education and
