Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.
No closing date published. This funder sets its closing date per country, or opens the call only when the cycle begins. Send us your documents and we will apply the moment your country’s window opens.
Who can apply
All nationalities applying for full-time MSc/PhD admission (some programmes are UAE-nation only); no separate scholarship application - tiers are assigned on admission merit.
What the award is
Tiered awards for international students enrolled full-time in master's or PhD programmes at Khalifa University of Science and Technology, a public university chartered and funded by the Government of Abu Dhabi. There is no separate scholarship application - every admission applicant is mapped to a tier on academic merit and slots are limited, and PhD research-path awards carry a work commitment with the university or a nominated entity after graduation. Figures are quoted verbatim from the official scholarship page; the site carries no current deadline (postgraduate admission for Spring 2027 is already closed and Fall 2027 dates are not yet published). Official source: https://www.ku.ac.ae/scholarship/graduate-research-teaching-scholarship-for-international-students (checked 29 October 2026). In full: , mobilisation/demobilisation flights and UAE visa fees. PhD (research path) Tier I/II: full tuition plus a basic monthly stipend of 20,000 AED, with an additional monthly allowance of up to 20,000 AED (Tier I) or 10,000 AED (Tier II); Tier III PhD: 75% tuition waiver plus the 20,000 AED monthly stipend.Where these dates came from
KU publishes no standalone scholarship deadline; the real gate is graduate admission. The official Postgraduate Admissions page states Spring 2027 admissions are closed and lists no Fall 2027 opening or closing dates yet, so nothing can be dated - https://www.ku.ac.ae/postgraduate-admissions and https://www.ku.ac.ae/scholarship/graduate-research-teaching-scholarship-for-international-students (checked 30 October 2026).
