United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) Graduate Scholarship
About this scholarship
The UAEU Graduate Scholarship is offered by United Arab Emirates University through its College of Graduate Studies to support international students undertaking master’s and doctoral study. UAEU is the country’s flagship national university, and its graduate assistantships and fellowships combine full funding with a research-active campus environment.
The award is fully funded, covering a full tuition waiver, a monthly stipend (around 5,000 to 8,000 dirhams), campus accommodation, health insurance, and an annual flight ticket, for the duration of the graduate programme. Master’s and PhD candidates typically receive Graduate Teaching or Research Assistantships, or a PhD Fellowship.
Eligibility is for those who hold a bachelor’s (for a master’s) or a master’s (for a PhD) with a strong GPA (around 3.0 on a 4.0 scale) and who meet UAEU’s English-language requirements (IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL 79). You apply for admission to your chosen UAEU graduate programme, then submit the scholarship or assistantship application through the university’s online portal with transcripts, a CV, two recommendation letters, a passport copy, and the required security form; for PhD fellowships, securing a faculty supervisor and a research proposal strengthens your application.
