The British Chevening scholarships are part of a global programme funded by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, London and are administered and managed by the British Council. The scheme aims to provide postgraduate students and young professionals from Brunei Darussalam, identified as having high potential, an opportunity to develop their academic and management skills at well-known British universities.

The Queen Elizabeth II Chevening Scholarships began in Brunei Darussalam in 1998 when they were formally announced during the State Visit of Her Majesty The Queen that year. Hence the rare honor of attaching Her Majesty's name to the awards. Chevening scholarships take their name from Chevening House, the official country residence of the Foreign Secretary near Sevenoaks in Kent.

In Brunei Darussalam, various organisations have co-sponsored the scheme, namely CfBT Education Services, Cable & Wireless, MBDA, HSBC, BSP, BLNG, BAE Systems and ASEM.
