Aga Khan Foundation Scholarships 2026 for Developing Country Students (50% Grant, 50% Loan)

The Aga Khan Foundation offers a limited number of scholarships each year for postgraduate studies to outstanding students from developing countries who lack other means of financing their education. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis and cover tuition fees and living expenses, with a 50% grant and 50% loan structure. This program prioritizes Master's level courses but also considers PhD applications when necessary for career objectives.

Applicants must be from developing countries where the Aga Khan Foundation has branches or affiliates. Candidates should have outstanding academic records, genuine financial need, and admission to a reputable institution. Work experience in the relevant field is also expected.

50% of the scholarship is a grant, while the other 50% is a loan that must be repaid with a 5% annual service charge.
