ethnic minority, tribe and indigenous group are all synonyms. They simply want to know if your tribe is in the majority in your country, the size. E.g Yoruba is not a minority same as Igbo.

can I give you a quick advice. You might not like it tho. Forget about this chevening scholarship. Do not bother applying now. When you gain real work experience, apply. You will thank me!! Chevining is quite different..

Jefa4real:


Yes, certainly you can...You just need to be creative about describing how what you did at your PPA and your CDS fits into your proposed course of study and future career. As a matter of fact you can also get extra hours by listing your PPA and CD Activities under different job headings, especially if you spent enough time on CD group initiatives.

I got chevening this year with NYSC+my teaching in a private school after NYSC+Voluntary research assistant role. The thoughts about the relevance of NYSC was what almost put me of from applying, but thanks to the help and support I got from a group of scholarship enthusiasts, I summoned courage to go on and I got the award.

But ensure your essays are super tight and your university grades are not too low.

Jefa4real:


I'm sorry sir, but I beg to disagree. What do you mean by 'real work experience'? Even chevening encourges all sorts of work experience:
Eligible types of work experience

Applicants must meet the minimum work experience requirement before they submit their application for a Chevening Award. The types of work experience that are eligible for Chevening can include:

Full-time employment
Part-time employment
Voluntary work
Paid or unpaid internships
Work experience can be completed before, during, or after graduating from your undergraduate studies.
Employment undertaken as part of your undergraduate or postgraduate course are not eligible.

You do not need to meet the work experience requirement in one period of employment nor do you have been working in your current role for the minimum requirement in order to be eligible to apply. Applicants can submit up to ten different employment periods in order to meet the requirement. If you have held more than ten positions then please enter the periods which make up the greatest number of hours worked.

(1) All applicants must have worked at least 2,800 hours to be eligible.

It is assumed that applicants in full-time employment work on average 35 hours per week and 40 weeks per year. This equates to 2,800 hours over two years. However, if you have worked over 2,800 hours in less than two years, you will still be eligible. If your work experience is not full-time work, calculate the number of hours worked multiplied by the number of weeks in the role. All applicants must have met the work experience requirement when they submit their application.

(2) We consider all types of work experience.

This includes full-time employment, part-time employment, voluntary work, paid or unpaid internships, freelancing, and self-employment. Work experience from before, during or after your undergraduate degree is eligible and can take place in any country, regardless of whether or not it is your country of citizenship. If your work experience was a mandatory part of your university course, this will not count towards the work experience criteria.

THE MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT You should be able to explain how your previous work experience relates to your course or why you are deciding to switch if it is not related

Here is what chevening says:

(3) Your work experience does not need to be related to the course/s you want to study.

We accept work experience from any field. However, if your course choices are not related to your work experience, you will need to explain why you are seeking to make a career change. Note the transferable skills you have gained from your current field of work and how they will help you in your studies and with your future career goals.


DONALD TRUMP DID NOT HAVE RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE TO BECOME A 'SUITABLE U.S. PRESIDENT', YET HILARY CLINTON WITH ALL HER PROFESSIONAL POLITICAL CAREER PROFILE STILL LOST TO HIM.

Hello Scholar,

Thanking you in anticipation that I will read back from you soon.

Best regard.

That's the link to chevening advise page on work experience

http://www.chevening.org/chevening/blog/2016/work-experience-four-key-points-to-help-you-apply

I will just advise that you make enormous efforts to put in very good essays and be careful in filling all sections of the application form. Do thorough research on UK priorities in your country and forge a link between what you want to study and those Uk priorities.

To caught long stories, visit this page if you haven't

https://scholarshipapplicationguide..fr/2017/08/a-guide-for-scholarship-applications.html

I believe it will be helpful.
