GLOBAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: May 31st, 2027

LOCATION: Germany

GlobalScholarships.com scholarships are for the Fall 2027 studies and are offered to any eligible prospective or current international student studying in Fall 2027. Their mission is to make scholarships accessible and transparent, and they would like to take one step closer to that mission by offering an external scholarship for a prospective international student.

ELIGIBILITY:

International students planning to pursue their studies outside their home country.

You must meet ALL of the following to be eligible:

You must be an international student; that is, you cannot be a citizen or a permanent resident of a country that you will be studying in Fall 2027.

You must be a current or a prospective student who will be enrolled in a postsecondary degree program (Diploma, Associate’s, Bachelor’s, master’s, or Ph.D., as well as professional programs like law and medicine) in Fall 2027.

They are looking to give this scholarship to a student who has best maximized their potential given their circumstances and will continue to maximize their potential in the future. By “maximizing their potential given their circumstances,” a student who comes from an affluent family and has maximized their potential in one way or another is just as qualified for this scholarship as a student from an impoverished family who also has done the same. They take more of a holistic approach in giving this scholarship, with a combination of merit, writing skills, and the essay describing what they look for in a candidate. They take financial needs into consideration only in the light of “maximizing their potential given their circumstances.”

Application Materials:

A short Google form

500 – 700 word essay on “Describe your educational journey, emphasizing how you have maximized your potential given your circumstances.” In addition, please tell us how you plan to continue to do so after your degree.” – Submitted in PDF file in the Google Form

Selection Process:

They will notify the 3-5 finalists on June 15th – 30th. The finalists will be asked to provide

A copy of their passport with their passport number covered

An acceptance letter from a prospective student or proof of attendance from current students

A written agreement to fulfill social media responsibilities if selected as a winner

Finalists have 10 days to submit those materials from the date that they’ve notified them. After they have received those materials, they may ask the finalists to go on a short Zoom interview call. The winner will be announced on July 15th – 25th.

BENEFIT:

Scholarship Value: $3,000

GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS (GUIPRS)

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 25 August, 2026

LOCATION: Australia

Griffith University awards Griffith University International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (GUIPRS) via a competitive application process to candidates commencing or enrolled in a Higher Degree Research (HDR) program.

ELIGIBILITY:

To be eligible for a GUIPRS, an applicant must:

Not be a domestic student, as defined as being a student who is an Australian citizen; or an Australian permanent resident or holder of an Australian Permanent Humanitarian visa; or a New Zealand citizen.

Be commencing or enrolled in a HDR program (for which GUIPRS support is available) at Griffith University.

Applicants are ranked and selected on the basis of Griffith University’s selection criteria; addressing academic merit, research potential and the quality of the research training environment in which their research project will be undertaken, taking into account the University’s strategic priorities. The selection process and criteria are as set out in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the HDR Scholarship Procedure.

Commencement of study: Awardees must accept both a place in the HDR program (if not already commenced) as well as the GUIPRS by the date specified in the offer letter and must commence their scholarship by the commencement date specified in this letter. Awardees may apply for a deferred commencement to a future date where a provision to defer the scholarship is provided in the letter of offer. Awardees are normally expected to commence within the year of award. Full details of the reasons for the request will be required. If an awardee cannot commence by the approved date as outlined in the letter of offer, or where a deferral request is not approved, the award will be withdrawn.

Enrollment: Awardees are required to maintain an on-campus enrollment.

Study load: Awardees are required to maintain a full-time study load, unless Griffith University has approved part-time study load and scholarship award in accordance with section 3.8 of the HDR Scholarship Procedure. Part-time scholarships will have tax withheld in accordance with the relevant tax legislation. The University may require part-time scholarship recipients to convert to full-time if the reasons for which the part-time award was granted no longer apply.

A full-time study load commitment is at least the equivalent of the standard five day working week (e.g. 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, 48 weeks per year). The actual pattern of research and study is to be negotiated by the candidate and their supervisory team. Refer to Section 3.5 of the HDR Enrolment and Variations to Candidature Procedure.

Duration: The maximum duration of a full-time GUIPRS is:

2 years (full-time equivalent) in a masters (research) or the MPhil program

3 years (full-time equivalent) in a doctoral program.

Continuation of receipt of the GUIPRS throughout this duration is dependent upon evidence of the awardee’s satisfactory progress in the HDR program, through the timely completion of candidature milestones and satisfactory progress reports.

The Scholarship duration will be reduced by any period of study undertaken:

Towards the research project and/or degree prior to the commencement of the GUIPRS; or

Towards the degree during suspension of the GUIPRS.

An extension to the GUIPRS up to a maximum of six months may be approved for doctoral candidates, provided the candidate is making satisfactory progress and only where the grounds for the extension:

Relate to the study and are beyond the control of the candidate and could not have been reasonably anticipated at the commencement of the program; or

Are on the basis of the candidate undertaking an industry placement, research internship, or professional practice activity of more than 30 days duration, approved by the Dean Research as part of the HDR program, as per Section 4.7 of these Conditions of Award.

A request for an extension should be made within a reasonable period before (and at least one month before) the expiry date of the award.

BENEFIT:

Tuition fees: Covers tuition fees for up to three and a half years for doctoral candidates and up to two years for research master’s candidates.

OSHC: Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the candidate. Research candidates are required to hold a visa for their program length plus an additional nine months to allow for interactive thesis marking. Candidates undertaking a PhD will require 57 months of overseas health cover. Holders of Griffith University scholarships will receive cover (if undertaking a PhD) for 57 months.

Student Services and Amenities Fee: Covers the fee for which the scholarship recipient would otherwise be liable.
