I'm starting to look at universities in Portugal, but I need financial aid to make it work. Can anyone share which Portuguese universities are known to offer scholarships to international students?
Absolutely, there are various Portuguese universities that offer scholarships to international students and it's smart to include financial aid viability as a part of your planning.
The University of Porto, one of Portugal's top universities, offers merit-based scholarships for international students. These scholarships typically cover partial to full tuition costs, depending on the student's academic performance.
The University of Lisbon also provides the 'ULisboa Scholarship' to exceptional international undergraduate and postgraduate students, which covers tuition fees up to a certain amount.
The University of Minho awards merit scholarships to international undergraduate students who show high academic achievement. This scholarship is usually a percentage reduction in annual tuition fees. In addition, Minho has the 'Study & Research' scholarship, funded by Santander Universities, that grants mobility awards to students from their partner universities abroad.
Moreover, the Institute for Politecnic of Leiria offers several scholarships for both undergrad and postgrad international students, including full tuition scholarships for top performers in selected fields of study.
To apply for these scholarships, you'll typically need to meet certain academic requirements and submit applications or documents directly to the respective universities. Remember to check the details on the universities' official websites or contact their admissions office to gain the most accurate and up-to-date information about scholarship opportunities. Good luck with your applications!
