phd scholarship in sweden for international students

“Do a master’s here – I’d say it’s a very good step to doing a PhD in Sweden. I did my master’s at Malmö University and now I’m doing a PhD at Lund University” – Sanjay, Malmö University. Photo: Oskar Omne

So that means – no tuition fees, no scholarships. But you’ll receive a monthly salary instead. Nice, eh? And that’s why available PhD positions are listed on a university’s job board.

How to apply for a PhD position? You’ll apply directly to the university.

Just so you know, there’s no centralised application process. And things like requirements and application dates? This kind of stuff is decided by each department. But we do know that you’ll need to have a master’s degree – in the same field of study – and a great level of English to apply for a PhD here. You might even need to be fluent in Swedish. But that’ll depend on the subject.

Lund University Global Scholarship

For high achieving students from across the globe.

LUGS scholarship receivers having dinner and talking to a donor at the annual scholarship ceremony

About the Lund University Global Scholarship programme

  • Approximately SEK 20 million (€1.7 million/US $1.8 million) is awarded in scholarship grants each year
  • A selective, merit-based scholarship to recognise top academic students from outside the EU/EEA

As a top 100 university and ranked in the top 0.4% of universities in the world, Lund University attracts high-achieving students from across the globe. The Lund University Global Scholarship programme seeks to recognise these students by awarding academic excellence grants.

Scholarship recipients have a proven record of achieving consistently high grades in their previous studies and are assessed as being a good fit for our programmes. The scholarship is selective, competitive and merit-based.

Scholarship grants may cover partial or up to the full tuition fee. The scholarship percentage awarded depends on the budget available to the programme/faculty. It has no reflection on the student's academic level of excellence. Please note that scholarships are toward tuition fees only and that living costs are not covered. Scholarship recipients must still be able to fund their living costs, as per the requirements of the Swedish Migration Agency.

Information about living costs in Sweden

Who is eligible to apply?

To be eligible to apply for a scholarship you must meet all of the following criteria:

  • You must be a citizen of a country from outside the EU/EEA (and Switzerland) and be required to pay tuition fees
  • You have made a complete application in a regular application round to Master's level studies leading to a degree at Lund University, or, exceptionally, for one of the Bachelor's programmes in Development Studies, Mathematics, Physics and Physical Geography. Note that the programme at Lund University that you are applying for a scholarship for should be your first choice in your application at universityadmissions.se.

Please do not apply if:

  • You do not meet the admission requirements to Lund University
  • You have not selected a Lund University programme as your first choice at universityadmissions.se
  • You cannot secure the funding needed to cover living costs, as required by the Swedish Migration Agency

When and how to apply 

The Lund University Global Scholarship 2024 application is now closed.

To be able to apply and be considered for a Lund University Global Scholarship, you must first have applied to the programme(s) you wish to study at Lund University. You do this through the online, national application website –  www.universityadmissions.se  â€“ during the application period. Once you have made a complete application to studies leading to a degree and have paid the application fee , you will be able to apply for the scholarship. Note that the scholarship portal is different from the national application portal for studies. The link to the scholarship application portal is published here on this web page during the scholarship application period.

If you are applying to a programme in Fine Art or Music or applying in the later application round, March–April, you will be contacted via email regarding when and how to apply for the scholarship.

When to apply to programmes and courses

As part of the online scholarship application, you need to upload your personal 'scholarship motivation letter' (maximum 600 words) in the scholarship application portal. Please note that the scholarship motivation letter is different from any statement of purpose you may be required to submit as part of your programme-specific application documents. Your scholarship motivation letter should explain why your academic performance and reasons for applying to Lund University make you a suitable potential recipient for a Lund University Global Scholarship. You can only apply for one Lund University Global Scholarship for the programmes that you have selected at Lund University in a specific application round. However, it is possible for you to apply for other scholarships, for example, the Swedish Institute scholarships, in addition.

Selection process – based on academic merits

The selection process for scholarships is undertaken in parallel with the programme/course selection process. Priority will be given to students with high academic performance, who are assessed as a good fit for the programme, who demonstrate a strong commitment and desire to study at Lund University and who have selected a programme/course at Lund University as their first choice/choices when applying at www.universityadmissions.se .

As the scholarship is merit-based only, no consideration is taken of the student's financial needs in the selection process.

Scholarship results

If you have applied for the Lund University Global Scholarship, you will receive a message from Lund University shortly after your admission results about the scholarship selection. If you have been selected for a scholarship, the information will include the awarded amount, as well as further instructions. In order to receive the scholarship, you will be required to:

  • Accept the scholarship within the time frame stated in your award letter
  • Accept your study place at Lund University according to the instructions from Lund University
  • Pay the remaining tuition fee instalment by the date stated in the scholarship offer email from Lund University.  Note  that this payment may be due earlier than the general tuition fee payment deadline for non-scholarship holders!

The scholarship amount will be deducted from your Lund University tuition fee invoice automatically.

Living costs in Sweden

Budget right! Estimate your expenses before coming to Sweden.

Scholarships

There are many Swedish, European and international foundations that award scholarships and grants. The rules for different scholarships and grants can vary – some are intended to help meet living costs, others fund tuition fees (for non EU/EEA citizens) and still others can be used for various educational costs. For details on the various types of scholarships and grants available, be sure to read and carefully follow the instructions provided.

Remember that other sources exist and that investing some time, effort and creativity in researching and applying for scholarships and grants can have a significant impact on the actual financial cost to you of your education.

Malmö University Excellence Scholarship

Malmö University offers a limited number of scholarships for current fee-paying students who are performing with excellence at their studies. The Malmö University Excellence Scholarship (MUES) is awarded as a tuition fee waiver for the upcoming academic year. It covers partial or up to the full tuition fee but does not cover other expenses, such as living expenses.

US Student Finance

US Government Federal Programs are federal student loans for eligible students to help cover the costs of higher education at an approved university. Malmö University is a participating institution in the US Government Federal Student Aid Finance Program for bachelor’s and master's programmes.

Eligibility and application

This loan programme is only available to US citizens or eligible non-citizens attending university at least part-time, at a programme approved for Federal Student Aid.

US students may defer payments on existing federal student loan accounts while enrolled in a master’s programme. The 'Deferment Only' status does not allow students to take out federal student loans for enrolment. However, the accreditation facilitates grant and loan opportunities for US students as many private student loan institutions in the US use this designation as a requirement to grant new loans. Students who wish to defer payments must contact their lending institution in the US.

Malmö University is an accredited institution at the US Department of Education, and holds a Title IV 'Deferment Only' status (OPE ID 04301900).

To apply for a federal student loan, follow the instructions on the Federal Student Aid website.

Scholarship possibilities for international applicants 2024

The application window for the academic semester 2024/2025 is very much open. However, for many students, funding their studies in Sweden is a big concern, especially for fee-paying students. Luckily, the University of Gothenburg has a good track record of attracting SI Global Scholarship recipients. We also have our own Scholarship Programme that covers the tuition for 112 of our current students.

The Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals (SISGP) are awarded to ambitious global professionals for full-time master's studies in Sweden. The Scholarship is fully funded and is aimed at citizens in 41 listed countries. There are several criteria that need to be fulfilled to be eligible, and work experience is one of them. Through the scholarship, the Swedish Institute aims to develop a network of future global leaders who will contribute to the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

We attract the right students 

The University of Gothenburg currently has 55 SI Scholarship holders from the admission years 2022 and 2023. We are not surprised at all; every year, we attract ambitious students who want to make a change! We will happily welcome more for the admission in 2024.

Our own Scholarship Programs 

Since the SISGP only focuses on a few countries and is aimed solely at master's level studies, the University of Gothenburg has worked hard to establish our own scholarship program, the Axel Adler Scholarship. This is a tuition fee waiver and is open to students who choose the University of Gothenburg as their first-choice university on universityadmissions.se. The faculties will choose the most qualified students. Currently, 112 students are funded by this program, and we aim to reward 70-80 new scholarships for admission in 2024 . Students applying for a Master's Programme at the School of Business, Economics and Law also have the possibility to apply for a partial tuition waiver, called   The Richard C. Malmsten Memorial Foundation Scholarship .

The Chances of Getting a Scholarship

Many ambitious and highly skilled students apply to the University of Gothenburg,  the competition is there for sure. But this shouldn't discourage from giving it your best shot! Here is all the information you need about the three mentioned scholarships:

  • SI Scholarship for Global Professionals 
  • Axel Adler Scholarship
  • Richard C. Malmsten Memorial Foundation Scholarship

6 Canadian PhD scholarships for international students in 2022

There are many excellent countries for international students wishing to pursue their PhD studies on a scholarship. Canada is one of them – it has been voted the most attractive study destination by agents in the 2021 survey , thanks to how well the Trudeau administration took care of international students at the height of the pandemic last year.

Canada is well-known for being a safe, stable, open and welcoming country as well. In the same 2021 survey, Canada emerged as tops for safety and openness – factors that are critical to all migrants seeking a life in a foreign land, especially for international students.

Understandably, a PhD can involve great costs since it takes on average three to four years to complete; if you are an international student, from a country with less global spending power, living and travel costs, will add up too.

Fortunately, Canada has several scholarships that can help alleviate these, offered by provinces and universities alike – both provincial and university-specific ones. We round up a list of six Canadian PhD scholarships to help you start your application for the 2022 academic year.

Ontario Trillium Scholarship – Western University

The Ontario Trillium Scholarship (OTS) aims to attract outstanding candidates to come to Ontario for their PhD studies. Particularly, if you want to apply to Western University , you should express your interest to the graduate programme chair (Director or Associate Dean) of your admitting programme in order to be nominated for the OTS.

To be eligible for applying, you should be an international student, be willing to be physically present at the university at the time of studies, is not registered with any other Canadian institution, have an excellent academic record and research experience, and need to have achieved a minimum of 80% in two of your most recent years of full-time study. You may be required to demonstrate English language proficiency as well.

Successful applicants starting their PhD programme will get 40,000 Canadian dollars each year, which can be renewed for up to four years.

University of Alberta

Next on the list of Canadian PhD scholarships is the University of Alberta Graduate Entrance scholarship . Located in Alberta, the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research at  University of Alberta disburses around CA$26 million in scholarships every year. 

If you plan to register for doctoral studies at the University of Alberta, you are eligible for this one-off Graduate Entrance scholarship worth CA$21,000. This may commence either on Jan. 1 or Sep. 1, and cannot be renewed at all.

You are allowed to hold any number of University of Alberta awards concurrently with this scholarship but not the Tri-Council Top-up awards at the same time. Examples include the Walter H Johns Graduate Fellowship and President’s Doctoral Prize of Distinction and the Graduate Entrance 14 Scholarship tuition fee top up at the same time.

University of Montreal

The third Canadian PhD scholarship offering is administered by the University of Montreal in Quebec. Ranked 88th in the world (Times Higher Education ranking 2022) and fourth in Canada for volume of research activities, this university attracts over 45,000 students out of which 8,500 are international.

In addition to the Doctoral Scholarship (CA$7,000 – renewable once, for students who have done their master’s degree at this university), you can apply for the Mackenzie King Scholarship (CA$8,500 for one year – application deadline is Feb. 1, 2022). You can submit an application for the University of Montreal exemption grant (ranging from CA$ 2,078.10 to CA$12,465.60 depending on your academic record, no separate application needed) as well.

For more information on other scholarships, you may check out the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies page.

University of British Columbia

One of the top 20 public universities in the world, the University of British Columbia is ranking 37th by the Times Higher Education rankings 2022, and one of three Canadian universities to make it to the top 50. Over 56,000 students study at the University’s two campuses in the Okanagan Valley and Vancouver.

For students wanting to do a PhD at this University, the Four Year Doctoral Fellowship (4YF) is an outstanding choice. You will receive CA$18,200 as your annual stipend, and full tuition coverage for up to four years of your PhD studies.

You can apply to your preferred Graduate Programme; all PhD applicants are qualified to apply for this Scholarship. Upon selecting the best applicants, the Graduate Programme will inform Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies about their choices.

University of Lethbridge

Located in Southern Alberta, the University of Lethbridge is one of Canada’s top three research universities, a record they have held for the past four consecutive years. The University is ranked among the 6% of world universities for research performance as well.

That is why the University of Lethbridge Graduate Research Award has been designed for incoming graduate applicants of all disciplines except Education. With a value up to CA$21,000, you can combine this Award with the Graduate Assistantship and/or any Research Stipend provided by a Faculty Member, but not with other scholarships such as the Dean’s Scholarship.

University of Windsor

The University of Windsor is the final university on this list of Canadian PhD scholarships. As a comprehensive university located in Canada’s southernmost city overlooking the Detroit River, the University of Windsor offers their 16,000 students a wide variety of courses.

PhD applicants can apply for the Graduate Entrance Scholarship worth CA$7,500 for up to four years. This Scholarship has three application deadlines: the first day of January, May and September – you must have achieved a minimum of 80% average as well.

Other awards for international PhD applicants include the Ontario Graduate Scholarship . Depending on how many months you have completed your PhD studies at the time of application, you may receive up to CA$15,000 (three terms of CA$5,000 each) of funding – the application deadline is Jan. 12, 2022.

All in all, these are great Canadian PhD scholarships if you are an international student looking to start your PhD studies in safe and stable Canada in 2022.
