Fully-Funded Master’s Scholarship in Portugal Closing in September 2026

The Portugal Government Scholarship is offering financial assistance to students pursuing Master's degrees in the country, with applications closing on September 30, 2026. Operated by the Directorate-General for Higher Education (DGES), the scholarship supports eligible students enrolled in higher education programs, with awards ranging based on each student's financial situation and needs, not a fixed amount.

The grant can cover up to €15,000 annually, with payments made in 10 monthly installments over the academic year, aiding students in managing their education-related expenses. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate limited financial resources, meet academic conditions, and provide proof of household income and assets, with a typical limit set at €11,049.89 for the annual household income and €115,303.20 for movable assets.

The scholarship is particularly relevant for Pakistani students, though international students with International Student Status, such as those from Pakistan, are generally excluded from receiving it. Applicants should submit their applications online through the DGES portal, providing personal, academic, and financial details, along with required supporting documents.

The deadline for applications is September 30, 2026, though late applications may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
