About the scholarship

The Qassim University Scholarships 2027 support international students in Master’s and PhD programmes at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia, as part of the country’s Vision 2030 research push. Applications for the 2027 cycle are reported to open 27 January 2027 and close 11 February 2027.

Read this before applying: these are not a single uniformly “fully funded” package. Saudi state universities offer full, partial and paid scholarship routes, and Qassim’s published information does not guarantee a living allowance for every admitted applicant. Confirm your exact funding route and package before making plans.
