answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>The primary focus of the review is to establish whether there is scope for further efficiencies and synergies across the main Government funded scholarship schemes. We await the outcomes of the review due to be published in March 2015 and will assess the potential impact on the three schemes and scholarship numbers at that stage.</p><p>In the Budget statement of March 2014, separate to this review, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, my right hon. Friend the Member for Tatton (Mr Osborne), announced an increase in funding for the Chevening programme to triple the number of awards made to scholars from developing countries during the 2015-16 academic year. We anticipate, therefore, having a minimum of 1500 Chevening scholars coming to the UK from September 2015 onwards.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 02/02/2015 16:27:46 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
