About this scholarship
The Karolinska Institutet Global Master's Scholarship is a tuition scholarship for excellent fee-paying students admitted to KI global master's programmes. The official KI scholarship page states that Karolinska Institutet offers around one scholarship per programme per year and that the scholarship is distributed across the global master's programmes. Competition is high: KI reports 687 applications and 10 scholarship offers in 2025. The award is recorded as full funding because it covers the tuition fee for the eligible master's programme, but amount_value is null because tuition varies by programme and the scholarship does not include living costs. Travel, living expenses, and other costs must be met with other funding. To be eligible, students must apply to one of KI's global master's programmes starting in 2026, pay the application fee by February 2, 2026, be first-year students, be tuition-fee-paying non-EU/EEA citizens, and fulfill entry and documentation requirements. The scholarship application is separate from programme admission and opens only during the stated application window.
