Qatar University Scholarships for International Students

Qatar University, the leading national university of Qatar, offers scholarships to international undergraduate students to study in Doha. These awards recognise strong academic achievement and can substantially reduce the cost of an undergraduate degree, with the most competitive categories adding accommodation and travel benefits.

The support includes a tuition fee exemption and a textbook exemption, with university housing and annual return air tickets provided for the top scholarship categories, for the length of the bachelor’s programme. Enrolled students may also access further internal merit scholarships.

Eligibility is for international applicants who meet QU’s admission requirements for their chosen college, with a strong secondary school record (the most competitive scholarships favour the highest achievers) and English or Arabic proficiency depending on the programme, alongside the scholarship-specific conditions in the current QU rules. You apply for admission on the Qatar University portal for the autumn intake and complete the scholarship indication per the current cycle’s process; attested documents are required, so it is wise to start attestation early, and decisions are issued with admission outcomes. For international students seeking an affordable, well-supported undergraduate education in the Gulf, QU is a strong choice.
