King Saud University Scholarship

The King Saud University Scholarship is offered by King Saud University (KSU), Saudi Arabia’s oldest and largest public university, together with the Saudi Ministry of Education through the Study in Saudi platform. It is a fully funded award supporting international students across diploma, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral study.

The award is fully funded, covering a 100 percent tuition waiver, free furnished on-campus housing, a monthly stipend (around 990 riyals for bachelor’s, 1,170 for master’s, or 1,500 for doctoral students), health insurance, return flights, an arrival allowance, and a thesis or graduation allowance, for the standard duration of the programme. It is a generous package at a leading Gulf university.

Eligibility is open to applicants of all nationalities, with a high-school average of around very good (about 75 percent or above) for undergraduate entry; the language of study is Arabic (a preparatory year is available for non-Arabic speakers) or English (IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 61, or STEP 85), and applicants must not have previously received a scholarship to study in Saudi Arabia. You apply through the Study in Saudi platform, completing the personal information form and uploading your authenticated certificates, transcripts, a good-conduct certificate, a medical fitness report, and language test results, by the deadline. For international students aiming at Saudi Arabia, KSU offers a strong, fully funded option; confirm the current intake dates on the Study in Saudi platform.
