Qatar University International Students Scholarship in Qatar (Fully Funded Bachelor’s)

Qatar University, the national public university in Doha, offers the International Students Scholarship to applicants from outside Qatar. Scholarship holders are sponsored by the university. The award includes exemption from tuition and textbook fees, a monthly salary, university accommodation and an annual round-trip air ticket. It is a competitive scholarship: new applicants are selected on their high school grades. It is aimed mainly at students starting a first bachelor's degree. You apply through the university's online admission application during the application period announced for international students, so there is no fixed date shown here. The scholarship pays 500 Qatari riyals a month and needs a high school average of at least 95%. The window for Fall 2026 ran from 1 to 25 March 2026, and the Fall 2027 dates are not published yet.
