5 Fully-Funded Scholarships for 2026 in Europe
We all want to study at a world-recognized university because the university you choose will, of course, have a huge impact on your professional career. But such prestigious institutes either want us to pay the huge amount in the form of a semester fee or allow us to become a part of their university if we get a scholarship, which allows us to study at such an institute free of cost, meaning without paying any money in the form of a semester fee.
So that’s why we decided to write this blog for you if you are a highly decorated graduate and want to study for a master’s or PhD, etc., without paying anything. So we decided to share at least five incredible, fully funded scholarships in Europe for 2026 that are an absolute chance for you to get enrolled without any additional fee, as we are aware that studying for a master’s or further education, especially in Europe, is not that easy when it comes to the huge fee for every semester. These are five fully funded scholarships that we are going to share with you one by one that you can consider in 2025 and 2026. Let’s start one by one for you.

Author note for you regarding Expose Scholarship
With this scholarship, you will get a €1,300 monthly stipend for up to 9 months to help you craft your dissertation proposal. The good thing about this scholarship is that they offer an additional €200/month for you as a family allowance, meaning if you have family around, then you will get 200 extra, which is not very common.
So if you want this scholarship, then you must convince a professor at the University of Kassel to be their supervisor. This is key, as you know this is a very common requirement, as we all know that when we apply for a PhD or researcher position, we have to impress or convince the supervisor of what we are going to do in our research. So the same applies to this scholarship offer. Last but least this offer is everyone around the globe beyond any nationalities but only for 9 months. Read more about Expose scholarship
