Prince Sultan University Scholarships 2027-28 in Saudi Arabia (Partially Funded)

Riyadh’s leading private university discounts tuition by 25, 50 or 100 per cent for outstanding students — and pays its top 100% scholars a monthly stipend. Here is how the next round works.

2027-28 call TBA — 2026-27 window ran 1–15 Jul 2026 Open Updated 16 Oct 2026 By Prince Sultan University
Award
Tiered tuition waivers of 25%, 50% or 100% across bachelor’s, master’s and PhD programmes. The university’s July 2026 announcement confirms that distinguished 100% scholars may also receive a monthly stipend of 1,500 SAR.
Eligible
Saudi and international students with outstanding academic records. You must first be admitted to Prince Sultan University — the scholarship application is separate and requires your 9-digit university ID. A high-school diploma qualifies you for bachelor’s; a bachelor’s degree for graduate study. English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) is expected.
How
Complete PSU admission first, then register on the official scholarship portal (info.psu.edu.sa/MyScholarShip/) using your student ID. Upload transcripts, passport, recommendation letters, English scores and a personal statement.
Deadline
The 2027-28 call has not been published yet. The 2026-27 window opened 1 July 2026, closed mid-July 2026 and announced results on 17 July 2026 — expect a similar mid-year window, but treat the 2027-28 dates as unconfirmed.
Fine print
Awards are competitive and limited, and renew each year on cumulative GPA. Trackers that label this “fully funded” overstate the package: the verified core is the tuition waiver plus the top-tier monthly stipend. Accommodation, health insurance and travel are not confirmed by the university, so they are not promised here.

About the scholarship

Prince Sultan University (PSU) in Riyadh — Saudi Arabia’s first private university, founded in 1999 — runs one of the kingdom’s most generous institutional scholarship programmes. Each year it offers tiered tuition waivers of 25%, 50% or 100% to attract outstanding new students, Saudi and international alike, across its bachelor’s, master’s and PhD programmes in business, law, computer science, engineering, architecture and more.

The university’s own July 2026 announcement confirms that distinguished students can receive an academic scholarship of up to 100% along with a monthly stipend of 1,500 SAR. Because the published package centres on tuition — with the stipend reserved for the top tier — this article markets it honestly as partially funded, not as a full ride.

The 2026-27 scholarship window (applications 1–15 July 2026, results 17 July 2026) is now closed, and the 2027-28 call has not been published yet. The guidance below is built on the verified, recurring structure of the scheme.

  • Hold a high-school diploma or equivalent for bachelor’s programmes, or a bachelor’s degree for graduate programmes.
  • Demonstrate English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS scores are part of the file).
  • Commit to full-time study and meet the scholarship’s continuity terms — the university holds you accountable for your cumulative GPA, including the preparatory year.

Benefits

FAQs

Is the Prince Sultan University scholarship fully funded?

Not exactly. It is a tiered tuition-waiver scheme (25%, 50% or 100%), with a 1,500 SAR monthly stipend for distinguished 100% scholars. Trackers that promise free accommodation, insurance and airfare are not backed by the university’s own publications, so this article does not repeat those claims.

Can international students apply?

Yes — the scholarships are explicitly open to both Saudi and non-Saudi students, male and female.

Do I apply for admission and the scholarship together?

No. They are two separate applications. You must first be admitted and receive your 9-digit student ID, then register for the scholarship on the scholarship portal. There is no automatic registration.

When will the 2027-28 call open?

Not yet announced. The 2026-27 window opened 1 July 2026 and closed around 15 July 2026. Expect a similar short mid-year window, but confirm the dates on psu.edu.sa once published.

What GPA do I need to keep the scholarship?

The university’s continuity terms hold you to your cumulative GPA — including the preparatory year. The exact threshold is in your scholarship approval form.

Which programmes are covered?

Most PSU degree programmes, including Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Law, Information Systems, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Architecture and Interior Design — note that some programmes are gender-specific in their intake.

Verified 22 Oct 2026 across the university’s own publications and agreeing trackers: psu.edu.sa news (8 Jul 2026 — College of Medicine admissions for 1448 AH/2026-27 AD; “academic scholarship of up to (100%) along with a monthly stipend of 1,500 SAR”), psu.edu.sa scholarship FAQ (no automatic registration — apply separately with the 9-digit student ID after admission; continuity on cumulative GPA), the official portal info.psu.edu.sa/MyScholarShip/, opportunityportal.info + engineersjob.in + opportunitiesinfo.com (2026-27 window 1–15/16 Jul 2026, results 17 Jul 2026; 25/50/100% tiers; Saudi + international; separate admission-then-scholarship process), studycorner.info (tiers 25/50/100%; opening June–July 2026), coursesdata.com (documents: transcripts, IELTS/TOEFL, two recommendations, personal statement, ID; interview possible). The 2027-28 call is not published — no 2027-28 dates are invented. Queue title “2025 (Fully Funded)” was stale; the article is retitled to the recurring 2027-28 scheme and honestly marketed as Partially Funded.
