Uppsala University Master’s Scholarships

Uppsala University Master’s scholarships are available each year for fee-paying international students applying for an international Master’s programme at Uppsala University. The scholarships are funded by named providers including the Swedish Council for Higher Education (for the Uppsala University Global Scholarship) and The Beijer Foundation plus Uppsala University (for the Anders Wall Scholarship). Their stated purpose is to support eligible students through scholarship coverage of tuition fees.

The Uppsala University Global Scholarship is open to citizens of countries outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland, for Master’s programmes at Uppsala University. The Anders Wall Scholarship is open to citizens of a country in Africa for international Bachelor’s or Master’s programmes at Uppsala University. For both, the programme must be selected as first priority for scholarship consideration.

Selection is described through scholarship competition and specific eligibility requirements. The scholarships are highly competitive, with only about 2% of applicants granted a scholarship. Applicants must also satisfy academic and interest criteria, apply through University Admissions before the University Admissions deadline, submit a complete set of supporting documents and pay the application fee so that materials are received by the deadline.

For both scholarships, the tuition fee coverage is stated, while living expenses are not covered. The page indicates that scholarship application availability may vary from year to year, and the scholarship application period can close with late applications not accepted. A note on timing is provided for one scholarship round, but study start and the next scholarship round opening are addressed in scheduling information rather than support duration details.
