Khalifa University Scholarships (Master's and Ph.D)

Khalifa University is now accepting applications for scholarships for international Master's and Ph.D. students starting in Spring 2026. These scholarships cover all study expenses and may include a monthly stipend. Eligibility is determined through the admissions process, so no separate application is required.
