Many students across the world want to study abroad, but high costs remain a major barrier. Tuition fees, travel expenses and living costs often stop qualified applicants from pursuing international education. Fully funded scholarships are designed to reduce this burden by covering major expenses and limiting the need for personal financial support. In 2026, several governments are offering programmes that cover undergraduate, master’s and doctoral studies.
