In 2018, Anelize Lenzi Ruas de Almeida was an attorney with more than a decade of public service experience in Brazil’s National Treasury. But she knew there was more she could contribute. At nearly 40 years old, she was worried that age might exclude her from scholarship opportunities abroad until she discovered that Chevening has no upper age limit.
