Merit-based scholarships for international students

Schemes whose title or eligibility mentions merit. 120 schemes with eligibility, what they cover and how to apply. Open deadlines come first — those are the ones you can act on today.

About the dates. Many of these show a closed cycle — the deadline we captured has passed, but the scheme itself runs every year. Treat a closed date as "roughly when this reopens" and check the official link on the scholarship's page. Filter to open deadlines only to see just what is live now.
