6. KAUST MS/PhD Fellowship

Country: Saudi Arabia | Level: MS and PhD (STEM fields)

Funding: Full tuition, housing, medical and dental insurance, relocation support, and a stipend of $20,000–$30,000/year depending on qualifications and progression, awarded automatically to every admitted student

Deadline (Fall 2027 intake): The application cycle opened in mid-August 2026 and is already accepting applications

IELTS required: TOEFL iBT 81 or IELTS 6.5 minimum; waived for degree-holders from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, or New Zealand

If your prior degree was English-medium from an approved country, you can skip the English test entirely — many Pakistani applicants take the test unnecessarily without checking this first, so confirm your exemption status with KAUST admissions before booking any exam.
