About the LiU International Scholarship 2027 (2026)

Programme category: Scholarship Application status checked on 22 October 2026: UPCOMING. Linköping University offers limited tuition scholarships to new international master’s students. The reduction is normally 50%, but LiU decides the award percentage and number annually. Students remain responsible for living costs and any tuition balance. African citizens can qualify if they are fee-paying and have at least a GPA of 3.5/4, a first or high second class degree, or equivalent. They must apply in the first admission round, submit documents on time, rank LiU first and be admitted to that first choice in the initial selection results. Apply for admission by 15 January 2027; documents and the application fee are due by 1 February. The scholarship window opens in early April 2027, following admission, but exact dates remain unannounced. Eligible students will be invited; no additional supporting documents are required. Awards apply only to the specified programme and year. Recipients must pay remaining fees on time. A Swedish Institute award, loss of fee-paying status or failure to obtain residence permission in time cancels the LiU scholarship. Renewal requires passing at least 75% of first-year courses, recorded by 1 July, normally 45 of 60 credits. Extra courses beyond the normal 30-credit semester load attract additional fees.
