Scholarships List

ACS-COSECSA Women Scholars Program: This scholarship serves only senior female surgical trainees in COSECSA’s member countries in East, Central and Southern Africa. If you are a surgeon in Pakistan or elsewhere in Asia, the last section of this post points you to what you can apply for instead. What the award covers, and why the

ICO-AbbVie Advanced Research Fellowship: Start with the arithmetic, because it sets expectations better than any eligibility list. The International Council of Ophthalmology awards the ICO-AbbVie Advanced Research Fellowship once a year. Not once per country or once per region. One fellowship, worldwide, worth US$50,000. Who it is actually for ICO’s own page describes the purpose

FIFA/CIES Sports Management Diploma: Say the awkward part first. This is not a scholarship. It is a paid diploma, and at the India edition an international student pays USD 3,500. So why cover it on a scholarship site? Because of one rule almost nobody publishes. CIES awards a FIFA Master scholarship worth CHF 45,000, covering

Olympic Solidarity Athlete Scholarships: Start with the number, because it changes how you spend the next month. Six. Olympic Solidarity grants a maximum of six athlete scholarships per National Olympic Committee for the Los Angeles 2028 cycle — three men and three women — within a monthly budget of USD 9,000 per country.

NUIST-WMO Fellowships: NUIST runs two scholarships for international students, and most people only hear about one of them. The one everyone finds is NUIST’s own Excellent Freshmen Scholarship. It is good, it needs no nomination, and at master’s level it pays no monthly money at all. The one almost nobody writes about is the NUIST-WMO

WMO Fellowships Programme WMO Fellowships: Search for meteorology scholarships and WMO’s name comes up first every time. Then you look for the application form and there isn’t one. That is not an oversight. WMO takes no application from an individual. Its own eligibility rules say applicants must be staff of a National Meteorological and Hydrological

AIPS Fellowships: The name suggests a scholarship for Pakistanis. It is not one, and the misunderstanding costs people weeks every year. The American Institute of Pakistan Studies requires applicants to be enrolled or employed full time at a US academic institution. Its own wording is blunt: applicants not affiliated with a US institution have no

Erasmus Mundus IDOH 2027: If you went looking for a One Health master’s and found ITM Antwerp’s programme closed, this is the one that is open.
