Saïd Foundation Scholarships In UK 2027 (Fully Funded)

Overview

The Said Foundation Scholarships support talented people from the Middle East, especially Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine, to study one-year master's degrees at universities in the United Kingdom. Awards are made on academic merit, leadership potential and the expected impact of the studies on the scholar's home country. Decisions are taken by Foundation officers, trustees and external assessors, who look at academic excellence, commitment to the community and the practical relevance of the course to the applicant's country.

Applicants are expected to show a clear plan to use the skills and knowledge gained in the UK to support social and economic development at home.

What courses are covered

The scholarships are for one-year master's courses in the UK. There is no restriction on subject, but candidates must demonstrate that their subject will let them contribute to their home country's development. Applicants should apply to one or more of the Foundation's partner universities. An application for a non-partner university can be considered only if the proposed course is not offered by a partner university, and the applicant must explain this choice in the application, otherwise it will not be considered. The Foundation does not consider study outside the UK or undergraduate and PhD programmes.

What you get
