Scholarship

The Gates Cambridge Scholarship is a highly competitive international postgraduate scholarship programme at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. It supports outstanding applicants from countries outside the United Kingdom who wish to pursue eligible full-time postgraduate study at Cambridge. The scholarship is designed for applicants who combine exceptional academic ability with a clear capacity for leadership, a commitment to improving the lives of others, and a strong intellectual and academic fit with their proposed course at Cambridge. The scholarship can be used for a wide range of postgraduate programmes offered by the University of Cambridge, subject to the specific eligibility rules of the scholarship and the admission requirements of the chosen course. It is not a general undergraduate scholarship and should not be confused with Cambridge's wider postgraduate funding system. Gates Cambridge is a full-cost scholarship. Its core funding covers the University Composition Fee at the appropriate rate and provides a maintenance allowance for the scholar. Additional funding may be available for certain necessary academic and personal circumstances, subject to the scholarship's conditions. Applicants must first identify an eligible Cambridge postgraduate course and satisfy the University's academic and application requirements. The Gates Cambridge funding application is integrated into the Cambridge postgraduate application process for eligible applicants, although additional Gates Cambridge information and an additional reference are required. The selection process is exceptionally competitive. Academic excellence alone is not sufficient: applicants should be able to demonstrate why their proposed course is an appropriate intellectual fit, how they have demonstrated leadership or influence, and how their work, values or future plans show a genuine commitment to improving the lives of others. Applicants should begin preparing well before the application cycle. Cambridge recommends researching funding at least a year before the intended start of a course. Applicants should identify their course, review its admission requirements and deadline, investigate funding, prepare supporting documents and references, and submit a complete application by the applicable deadline. A crucial point for applicants is that there is not one universal Cambridge postgraduate application deadline. The relevant deadline depends on the course and funding route. When applying for funding, the applicant must meet whichever applicable deadline is earlier. The University of Cambridge also makes clear that applications must be complete by the relevant deadline, including required supporting documentation and references. Missing a funding deadline can result in the applicant not being considered for the relevant funding award. Gates Cambridge should therefore be approached as both an academic admission application and a scholarship application. A strong applicant needs a credible academic case for Cambridge as well as a convincing explanation of leadership, social impact and the relationship between the proposed study and their longer-term contribution.

Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship 2027 is the Hungarian Government's flagship international scholarship programme, offering international students the opportunity to pursue bachelor's, master's, one-tier master's, doctoral and selected non-degree studies at participating higher education institutions in Hungary. The scholarship provides tuition-free education and financial support including a monthly stipend, accommodation support or a dormitory place, and medical insurance. The programme covers a wide range of academic fields and study programmes, with the exact programmes and eligible fields depending on the applicant's citizenship and the relevant bilateral educational cooperation arrangements. Applicants apply through the official Stipendium Hungaricum online application system operated by the Tempus Public Foundation. Applicants must select eligible study programmes available to their country, and they may generally choose up to two study programmes. Applicants may also need to submit an application to their country's designated Sending Partner, which may have additional procedures or deadlines. The scholarship is highly competitive. Meeting the minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee selection. Applicants should carefully review the official Call for Applications, country-specific requirements, available study programmes and document requirements before submitting an application. Important: The official 2027/28 Call for Applications and deadline have not yet been published on the official Stipendium Hungaricum application pages reviewed for this listing. The latest published cycle was 2026/27, for which the central online application deadline was 15 January 2026 at 2:00 PM CET. Applicants should check the official website for the 2027/28 call and the exact deadline once announced.

The Fulbright Foreign Student Program 2027–2028 is one of the world's most prestigious fully funded international scholarship programs, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered in cooperation with Fulbright Commissions, U.S. Embassies, and partner organizations worldwide. Every year, thousands of talented students, researchers, artists, and young professionals receive the opportunity to pursue graduate education, conduct advanced research, or participate in academic exchange programs at leading universities across the United States. The program was established to strengthen mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through education, research, cultural exchange, and international collaboration. Beyond financial support, Fulbright provides scholars with leadership development opportunities, academic mentoring, professional networking, and lifelong membership in one of the world's most respected alumni communities. The scholarship is available in more than 160 countries, although eligibility requirements, available degree levels, application procedures, deadlines, and selection processes vary by country. Applicants must therefore review the specific requirements published by the U.S. Embassy or Fulbright Commission responsible for their country. The scholarship primarily supports Master's and PhD studies, while some participating countries also offer funding for non-degree research, visiting scholar programs, artistic projects, or professional academic exchanges. Applicants may study in almost every academic discipline, including Engineering, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Medicine, Public Health, Education, Agriculture, Economics, Environmental Science, Law, International Relations, Journalism, Business, Data Science, Public Policy, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Successful applicants receive comprehensive financial support that normally includes full tuition fees, living expenses, health insurance, international travel, visa support, and additional academic allowances according to the regulations of their country's Fulbright program. Because each participating country administers its own competition, funding details may vary slightly between countries. Selection is highly competitive and focuses on academic excellence, leadership ability, community engagement, communication skills, professional achievements, research potential, and the applicant's ability to contribute to mutual understanding between cultures. Strong personal statements, well-developed study objectives, realistic career plans, and convincing recommendations play a significant role during evaluation. Unlike many scholarships that focus solely on academic grades, Fulbright evaluates the applicant as a complete individual. Leadership experience, volunteer activities, research achievements, teaching experience, professional accomplishments, public service, and long-term commitment to community development are all important components of a competitive application. Applicants should carefully prepare every part of the application, including academic documents, recommendation letters, research proposals (if required), study objectives, English language qualifications, and interview preparation. Meeting only the minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee selection because competition is based on merit and the overall quality of the application. Graduates of the Fulbright Program become members of an internationally recognized alumni network that includes Nobel Prize winners, heads of state, government ministers, university presidents, scientists, entrepreneurs, journalists, artists, diplomats, and leaders from nearly every professional field. Participation in Fulbright often creates lifelong academic and professional opportunities that extend far beyond the scholarship period itself.

The Chevening Scholarship 2027–2028 is the UK Government's flagship fully funded international scholarship programme, funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and partner organisations.

Since its establishment in 1983, Chevening has supported more than 60,000 professionals from over 140 countries and territories, creating one of the world's most influential global leadership networks. The scholarship is designed for individuals who have demonstrated leadership potential, strong academic ability, and a commitment to creating positive change in their home countries after completing their studies. Successful applicants receive comprehensive financial support, including full university tuition fees, a monthly living allowance, return economy airfare, visa application costs, and additional grants where applicable under Chevening regulations. Scholars may study at hundreds of eligible UK universities and choose from thousands of Master's programmes in disciplines such as Public Policy, International Relations, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Engineering, Law, Economics, Public Health, Climate Change, Business Administration, Education, Journalism, Data Science, Development Studies, Finance, Environmental Science, and many more. Chevening is highly competitive and selects applicants based on leadership potential, networking ability, professional achievements, academic excellence, career goals, and the quality of their application essays. Applicants are expected to return to their home country for at least two years after completing their scholarship, where they contribute to national development and strengthen international cooperation. This scholarship is open to eligible applicants from participating countries, including Afghanistan, provided they satisfy all official eligibility requirements announced for the current application cycle.

Knight-Hennessy Scholars welcomes outstanding applicants from all countries, all academic disciplines, and all professional backgrounds. There are no restrictions based on nationality, field of study, career aspiration, or age beyond the published eligibility rules. Every scholar must be admitted to an eligible full-time Stanford graduate degree program before joining Knight-Hennessy Scholars. The scholarship provides comprehensive financial support for up to three years of graduate study, including tuition, living expenses, academic costs, and travel. Beyond financial support, scholars participate in leadership development programs, workshops, mentorship, global networking events, experiential learning opportunities, and multidisciplinary collaborations designed to prepare them for leadership roles across government, business, science, technology, healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, and nonprofit organizations. Unlike traditional scholarships that primarily recognize academic achievement, Knight-Hennessy Scholars evaluates applicants through a holistic admissions process that emphasizes independence of thought, purposeful leadership, and civic mindset. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate intellectual curiosity, resilience, creativity, integrity, and a commitment to creating positive change in their communities and around the world. Students admitted to the program become part of a vibrant interdisciplinary community at Stanford University, where they interact with peers representing dozens of nationalities, cultures, academic disciplines, and professional experiences. This unique environment encourages collaboration across fields while helping scholars build lifelong professional relationships. Applicants must submit two separate applications: One application to Knight-Hennessy Scholars. One application to an eligible full-time Stanford graduate degree program. Both applications are reviewed independently, and admission to Knight-Hennessy Scholars does not replace the admission process for Stanford graduate programs.

The program supports applicants from all academic disciplines and places particular emphasis on democracy, human rights, ecology, sustainability, social justice, gender equality, anti-discrimination and civic engagement. International students from non-EU countries who have completed their first academic degree abroad may apply for funding for a Master's degree in Germany.

Priority is given to applicants from DAC countries who have not yet taken up residence in Germany at the time of application. For the Fall 2026 selection round, applications are accepted from 15 July 2026 through 1 September 2026. Applications are submitted online through the Heinrich Böll Foundation's application portal.

For international Master's students from non-EU countries funded through the German Federal Foreign Office, the scholarship currently includes a base scholarship of €992 per month.

The Romania Government Scholarship, offered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania, provides fully funded study opportunities for international students pursuing Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD degrees at accredited Romanian universities.

The ICCR Special Scholarship Scheme for Afghan Nationals provides fully funded online undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes through the e-Vidya Bharati (iLearn) platform.

The Rhodes Scholarship is a fully funded postgraduate scholarship that enables exceptional students from eligible countries and regions to undertake full-time postgraduate study at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Established in 1903, it is the world's oldest international scholarship programme and has developed a global community of scholars, alumni and fellows. The scholarship is merit-based and is designed not simply to identify students with excellent grades, but to select individuals who demonstrate academic excellence, exceptional character, leadership, commitment to service, and the potential to contribute positively to society. The Rhodes Trust describes the scholarship as an opportunity to develop public-spirited leaders and promote international understanding and peace through an international community of Scholars. The 2027 Rhodes Scholarship cycle is for students who, if selected, will begin their studies at Oxford in October 2027. Applications for the 2027 cohort opened on 1 June 2026, although the closing date differs according to the applicant's Rhodes constituency. The United States, for example, opens later than most constituencies, while other regions have their own published deadlines. The scholarship covers Oxford University course fees and provides an annual stipend intended to support the Scholar's living expenses. The Rhodes Trust also covers the Oxford application fee, the student visa fee and associated International Health Surcharge, and two economy-class flights to and from the United Kingdom. Scholars also receive a settling-in allowance when they arrive in Oxford. The scholarship normally provides a basic tenure of two years, although the exact period of funding depends on the course selected. In certain circumstances, funding can extend to a third year or longer. For example, the Rhodes Trust states that up to three years of fees and stipend can be available for Scholars undertaking a DPhil at Oxford, subject to the applicable Conditions of Tenure. A particularly important point for applicants is that the Rhodes Scholarship and admission to Oxford are separate processes. Applicants normally apply for the Rhodes Scholarship first. If selected, they then apply to their chosen Oxford postgraduate course with support from the Rhodes Trust. Being selected as a Rhodes Scholar does not by itself constitute unconditional admission to Oxford; the scholarship is confirmed only after successful admission to the University. The scholarship is highly competitive and is administered through geographical constituencies. Applicants must first determine which Rhodes constituency they are eligible to apply through. Eligibility may depend on nationality, citizenship, residence, education, age, academic achievement and, in some cases, other constituency-specific requirements. The official Rhodes eligibility checker should therefore be used before an applicant begins the application. An important 2027 update is that the Rhodes Trust has suspended the Global Rhodes Scholarship with immediate effect because of shifting strategic priorities. Consequently, applicants from countries or regions that do not have an active Rhodes constituency should not assume that they can apply through the Global Scholarship in 2027. Applicants with connections to more than one constituency may, in certain circumstances, be eligible for inter-jurisdictional consideration, but this must be established through the official eligibility process.

The DAAD Study Scholarships – Postgraduate Studies in the Field of Architecture support international graduates who wish to pursue postgraduate or Master's studies in Architecture and related fields at a state or state-recognised university in Germany.

The Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship is the University of Toronto's most prestigious and competitive undergraduate scholarship for outstanding international students. Established to recognize exceptional academic achievement, creativity, leadership, and meaningful contributions to school and community, this scholarship provides one of Canada's most comprehensive financial support packages for students pursuing their first undergraduate degree. Every year, approximately 37 exceptional students from around the world are selected as Lester B. Pearson Scholars after a rigorous multi-stage evaluation process. Unlike many scholarships that focus primarily on academic grades, the University of Toronto evaluates applicants based on academic excellence, leadership potential, creativity, integrity, community involvement, initiative, and their ability to create positive impact within their schools and society. The scholarship covers full tuition fees, compulsory incidental fees, textbooks, learning materials, and full residence support for up to four years of undergraduate study. This allows recipients to focus on academic achievement, research, innovation, leadership development, and campus engagement without the financial burden associated with studying abroad. Applicants cannot apply directly for this scholarship at the beginning of the process. Every candidate must first be officially nominated by their current secondary school. Each eligible school may nominate only one student each year, making the nomination stage one of the most competitive parts of the entire application process. After nomination, students must apply for admission to an eligible undergraduate program at the University of Toronto before receiving access to the separate Pearson Scholarship application. The scholarship is available only to international students who require a Canadian study permit and who are entering their first undergraduate degree directly from secondary school. Students who have already begun studies at a college or university are generally not eligible. The University of Toronto consistently ranks among the world's leading research universities and offers hundreds of undergraduate programs across engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, medicine, life sciences, business, economics, humanities, social sciences, architecture, education, environmental studies, mathematics, physics, chemistry, arts, and many other disciplines. Pearson Scholars become members of an international community of outstanding young leaders and gain access to world-class academic resources, internationally recognized faculty members, advanced research facilities, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and extensive global networking opportunities. Selection is extremely competitive and based on much more than grades alone. Successful applicants usually demonstrate exceptional academic performance throughout secondary school, sustained leadership, meaningful extracurricular activities, volunteer work, creativity, initiative, strong communication skills, and the ability to positively influence others. The selection committee also considers each student's future potential to contribute to the global community. Because only a small number of scholarships are awarded annually from thousands of international nominations, applicants should begin preparing well before the application deadlines by discussing nomination with their school, strengthening their leadership portfolio, preparing admission documents, and researching suitable undergraduate programs.
