Scholarship category: Developing countries
Study abroad admissions for international students
Commonwealth Shared Scholarships
Each participating university runs its own shortlist, so applying early matters more than usual here.
Faculty for the Future Fellowship
Applicants are judged partly on their commitment to teaching once they return home.
AAUW International Fellowships
The application asks directly how you will use the degree at home. Answer it concretely.
Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship
The loan half carries no interest but requires a guarantor in your home country.
Joint Japan / World Bank Graduate Scholarship
Work experience is verified with employers, so dates on the CV must match the certificates.
Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program
There is no central application. Each partner university runs its own cycle and deadline.
DAAD Development-Related Postgraduate Courses
German public universities charge no tuition, so this stipend usually covers the whole cost of study.
Australia Awards Scholarships
Priority sectors differ by country: health in one, agriculture and governance in another.
Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals
You must apply for admission first — the scholarship application asks for your admission reference number.
