How to use the scholarship checker

Choose your citizenship situation, the level you want to study, and how much work experience you have. Each result carries a colour-coded verdict: green means the stated criteria match your answers, blue (likely, verify country) means the scholarship is restricted to a broad list of eligible countries and you should confirm yours specifically on the official page, and amber (gap) means you are eligible apart from one fixable requirement, most often work experience. Read the warning line on each card — it names the single rule, like a nomination requirement or a language test, that most often catches applicants out.

Why some verdicts say “verify” instead of a flat yes

Several of these scholarships — DAAD, Commonwealth, Chevening, Eric Bleumink, Friedrich Ebert, ARES, Stipendium Hungaricum — publish an eligible-country list running to 80, 100, sometimes over 150 countries, and the exact list changes from cycle to cycle. Rather than guess whether your specific country is on this year’s list, this tool tells you the scholarship is structurally open to applicants like you and links you to the official page to confirm your exact country. That is a deliberate honesty trade-off: a wrong yes/no here could cost you a real application.

Frequently asked questions

How does the scholarship eligibility checker work?

You enter three details — citizenship situation, study level, and work experience — and the tool matches you against 24 fully funded scholarships we have individually researched and sourced, showing a clear eligible, likely, or has-a-gap verdict for each. It runs entirely in your browser and stores nothing about you.

Is the checker accurate?

The data is built from each scholarship’s own official page, linked on every card. For scholarships with broad, changeable country-eligibility lists, we mark the verdict “likely — verify” rather than guess at whether your specific country is included this cycle. Always confirm current rules on the official scholarship website before applying.

Are these scholarships really fully funded?

Nearly all cover tuition and provide a living stipend; a few — like Axel Adler and the Michigan LSA award — cover only tuition or only part of the cost, and the card says so explicitly rather than calling it fully funded when it is not.

Do I need work experience to win a scholarship?

For most, no. A few — Chevening, DAAD EPOS, the Belgium ARES scholarship, and Yousriya Loza-Sawiris — require around two years of professional experience. The checker flags these with an amber verdict if you have not yet met the requirement.
