Frequently asked questions

Being a foreign student, I would like to complete my entire degree program in Austria. How do I locate a suitable scholarship?

Regretfully, overseas students who want to undertake a full degree program in Austria have very few funding options. Please select your place of origin, the type of grant (grants for entire degree programs in the target nation), the target group, and the study/research topic to locate those funding alternatives.

Only a few scholarship programs are available through the OeAD for students pursuing full-length degree programs in Austria, such as the University of Klagenfurt Technology Scholarships and the Scholarship of the Scholarship Foundation of the Republic of Austria for Master Studies in the Field of International Relations.
