About the scholarship

Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) — Lithuania’s leading technological university, founded in 1922 — offers merit-based tuition scholarships to international applicants for its English-taught bachelor’s and master’s programmes. The award takes the form of a full or partial tuition fee waiver for candidates with outstanding academic results, with the exact coverage depending on the chosen study programme.

The single most convenient feature: there is no separate scholarship application. Everyone who applies for admission through KTU’s official application portal, apply.ktu.edu, automatically becomes a scholarship candidate. KTU publishes the scholarship receivers by mid-July.

Read the framing carefully: KTU’s own scheme covers tuition fees only — it does not pay living costs. Trackers that label this a "fully funded" scholarship are overclaiming. The genuinely fully-funded route at KTU is the separate Lithuanian state grant programme described below.

What the funding covers

  • KTU tuition waiver: full or partial waiver of tuition fees for candidates with outstanding results, awarded per programme. No living stipend is attached to this scheme.
  • Lithuanian state grants (master’s): 70 grants offering €592 per month plus full tuition fee coverage — open to full-time master’s students from a listed set of nationalities: Armenia, Azerbaijan, China (including Taiwan), Georgia, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Ukraine, USA, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, plus foreign citizens of Lithuanian origin from non-EU/EFTA countries.

The state-grant route is competitive and separate from KTU’s automatic waiver — check the official KTU state-scholarship page for its own application rules and deadlines (the 2026-cycle state-grant deadline was 20 April 2026).

Eligibility

  • Nationality: international applicants — open to students from all countries (the state grant additionally restricts by nationality as listed above).
  • Study level: English-taught bachelor’s or master’s programmes at KTU starting September 2027.
  • Academic standing: "outstanding results" — selection is merit-based. (Tracker-reported fixed grade thresholds are not confirmed on KTU’s official pages and are not repeated here.)
  • Entry requirements: you must meet the programme’s academic entry requirements and its English-language requirements.
  • Admission first: the waiver can only be held alongside an actual KTU study place.

Documents you will need

Because scholarship consideration is automatic, your admission application documents are your scholarship documents. Across KTU and independent sources, these consistently include:

  • Completed online application form (via apply.ktu.edu).
  • Academic transcripts and degree certificate / proof of previous education.
  • Valid passport (identity document).
  • Proof of English proficiency meeting the programme requirement.

Some trackers additionally mention a motivation letter, CV or recommendation letters — these appear only on the aggregator page and are unconfirmed; follow the document list the official application portal asks for.

How to apply

  1. Pick your programme from KTU’s English-taught bachelor’s and master’s offerings and read its entry requirements carefully.
  2. Apply for admission through apply.ktu.edu before 31 May 2027 — this one application doubles as your scholarship application.
  3. Upload your documents exactly as the portal requests (transcripts, passport, English proof).
  4. State-grant route: if you are a full-time master’s applicant from a listed nationality, follow the separate Lithuanian state-grant process on KTU’s official state-scholarship page.
  5. Wait for mid-July, when KTU announces the scholarship receivers.

FAQs

Is the KTU scholarship fully funded?

No — and this is the key honesty point. KTU’s own scheme is a full or partial tuition fee waiver; it does not cover living costs. The fully-funded option at KTU is the Lithuanian state grant (€592/month + full tuition), available only to full-time master’s students from selected nationalities.

Is there really no separate scholarship form?

Correct. KTU states that all applicants through apply.ktu.edu automatically become scholarship candidates — receivers are announced by mid-July.

What are the deadlines?

Admissions for the September 2027 intake close 31 May 2027. The 2026-cycle scholarship deadlines (1 June 2026 for tuition waivers, 20 April 2026 for state grants) are long closed.

Which nationalities qualify for the Lithuanian state grant?

Per KTU’s official page: Armenia, Azerbaijan, China (including Taiwan), Georgia, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Moldova, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Ukraine, USA, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and foreign citizens of Lithuanian origin from non-EU/EFTA countries.

What does the state grant pay?

€592 per month plus full tuition fee coverage — 70 grants in the programme.

Do I need Lithuanian language?

No — the scholarships target English-taught programmes, but you must meet the programme’s English-language entry requirement.

Verified 18 Oct 2026 against official KTU pages: apply.ktu.edu/news/archive (admissions for international students opened 15 Oct 2026; "apply by 31 May" for the September 2027 start), en.ktu.edu/events/2992162/ (merit-based scholarships and tuition fee waivers for eligible applicants; no separate application), en.ktu.edu/news/study-masters-at-ktu-with-a-state-scholarship/ (70 Lithuanian state grants; €592/month + full tuition; master’s; listed nationalities). Deliberately framed as tuition-only funding, not "fully funded"; tracker-only figures (fixed grade thresholds, "fully funded" labels, motivation-letter requirements) omitted or flagged as unconfirmed.
