King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Fellowship 2026

The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Fellowship refers to the graduate funding package offered by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia for students pursuing advanced research degrees at the university. KAUST is a research-intensive graduate institution, and its fellowship support is generally aimed at students enrolling in full-time Master's and PhD programmes.

KAUST fellowships are widely known for providing comprehensive support to successful applicants. Funding commonly includes full tuition together with a monthly stipend and additional benefits that may include accommodation, medical coverage, and relocation or travel assistance, depending on the student's status and the programme terms in force for the relevant intake.

The opportunity is open to highly qualified domestic and international applicants with strong academic records and research potential. Applicants are generally expected to apply for admission to an eligible KAUST graduate programme, meet the university's academic and language requirements, and submit supporting materials such as transcripts, recommendation letters, and a statement of purpose. Because KAUST is a graduate-only university, this fellowship is not typically for undergraduate study.

Study is hosted at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. Programmes are research-focused and span science, engineering, technology, and related interdisciplinary fields. Students should apply through KAUST's official graduate admissions system and review the specific programme page for updated eligibility, documentation, and intake details.
