Questions students ask

Which government scholarships are open right now?

6 schemes have an open round with a fixed closing date: Ernst Mach Grant Worldwide (Austria, closes 1 December 2026); Icelandic Government Scholarships (Iceland, closes 1 December 2026); Commonwealth Shared Scholarships (United Kingdom, closes 8 December 2026); France Excellence Eiffel Scholarship Program (France, closes 6 January 2027); Türkiye Scholarships (Türkiye, closes 20 February 2027); National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic (Slovakia, closes 30 April 2027).

How do you know a scholarship is open to my nationality?

We read each scheme's official eligibility page and record the countries it names. Only a scheme that names your country is listed as open to you; schemes that name a region or publish their list elsewhere are listed as worth checking. We hold 42 government schemes in 32 countries.

Do I have to pay anyone to apply?

No. Government scholarships are applied for directly with the government or the university, free. An offer that asks for a fee to "secure" a scholarship is a warning sign.

Which nationality has the most government scholarships?

In our data, citizens of Bangladesh are named by 22 schemes, the most of any country. Most schemes are open to many nationalities, so check your own country's page.
