Renowned for its King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, KAUST is one of Saudi Arabia’s most esteemed academic institutions. The King Abdullah University Fellowship, or KAUST Fellowship, is a fantastic opportunity for anyone pursuing higher education. This fellowship supports people who want to study PhDs and master’s degrees. All qualified applicants, regardless of nationality, will get fully financed scholarships.
Notably, there is no cost involved in the application procedure. While the GRE is not required, applicants must make sure that their IELTS or TOEFL results are submitted. For Master’s programs, admission criteria specify an undergraduate degree; for PhD programs, they mandate both an undergraduate and an advanced degree. One of the richest scholarships in the Arab world, it is well known for its enormous funding.
