ICTP pays for you to spend three to six months a year working at its Trieste campus or a collaborating institute, for up

Perimeter Scholars International 2027: Most physics funding we cover puts a gate in front of you. ICTP wants a degree equivalent to an MSc. The IMU Breakout Fellowship needs a professor to nominate you. CERN closed its doors to Pakistani nationals for this intake entirely. Perimeter Scholars International has almost none of that. No application

GEBCO Training Programme 2027: About US$39,400 a year, tuition paid separately, a laptop, your textbooks, flights, a research cruise. For twelve months in the United States. Then one line further down GEBCO’s page: housing, subsistence and all other costs stay with you. That is not a complaint. It is how you read this scholarship correctly.

Gerda Henkel Research Scholarships: Start with who this is not for, because that is where most readers lose a month. You cannot apply for this as a BA or MA student.

You apply yourself, with a science degree, and that is

UN Ocean Fellowship 2028: Fourteen. That is how many of these the United Nations awards in a year, for the whole world.

WMU Sasakawa Fellowship 2027 One sentence on WMU’s website costs people this fellowship every year: “Applications can be submitted at any time; there are no cut-off dates.” That sentence is true, and it is about admission.

NF-IMLI Scholarship 2027: IMLI’s own nomination circuNF-IMLI Scholarship lar contains a sentence that almost no Pakistani applicant has read: “50% of admissions are reserved for suitably qualified women candidates.” Half the seats at the International Maritime Organization’s law institute, held open, every year.
