Home/Scholarships
ScholarshipsA person opened each official page, read the eligibility rules, the money and the deadline, and wrote it down here. Nothing on this page is copied from a blog. Where a date moves from year to year, we say so instead of inventing one.
Every listing below was read on 27 October 2026. Deadlines move. The official page is always right.

Ask us about this oneSix is what we can check properly this month for you to start with. The list grows when the platform opens, and every entry keeps the link to the page it came from.
If one of them cannot be confirmed, it is left out rather than guessed.
A long list is easy to publish. Checking one takes a person an hour: open the call, read the eligibility annex, find the money, find the date, and write it down in a way somebody can act on. Six is what we can stand behind today.
When the platform opens, the same list grows and becomes searchable by country, degree level and funding, and every entry carries the date it was last checked. Until then this page is the list so you can start with.
No. They are the six we have checked and can stand behind this month. The main list is in progress and published with full platform launch. Write to us with a country or a field and we will look at what is open there, whether or not it is on this page.
Most of these run once a year, so the next window is roughly twelve months later. We keep the entry and mark the date rather than deleting it, because knowing a programme exists is still useful when you are planning a cycle.
No. We are not paid to list any of them, and no programme has asked us to. The links go to the official page, not through a tracker.
No. You submit the application, in your own name, on the official portal. We help with the parts that decide the outcome: the choice, the documents, the references and the interview.
Yes, and it stays free. The consultation is free too. The paid services are at 70% off until the platform launches.
Tell us which, and where you are with it. The first consultation is free, and we will tell you honestly whether you are ready.
