Scholarships to study abroad for Russian citizens

China's main government scholarship. You apply through the university you choose, and it selects its own candidates.

This is Type A: you apply through the Chinese embassy or your country's authority. Type B in the CSC means applying through a university.

The city's scholarship for Shanghai universities, in two forms: full (Type A) and tuition only (Type B).

A year, a semester or a degree in Chinese paid for by China. The best route for anyone who wants the language first.

Tuition, a dormitory place or HUF 40,000 for housing, a stipend and medical insurance.

The 2026/27 round had up to 200 places for Russian citizens.

A grant based on family income, a fee waiver and a chance of a residence place.

We found no citizenship limit. The hard part is the income paperwork from your home country.

Airfare, tuition up to 5 million won a semester, an allowance and a year of Korean.

Russia is on both the embassy and university lists in the 2026 guidelines.

A master's across several European universities. The consortium running the programme awards the scholarship.

Citizenship is not restricted. Check which countries the programme runs in and whether you can get a visa there.

Paid doctoral research in Spain or Portugal in science and engineering.

The full package: tuition, housing, insurance, a flight and a year of Turkish.

The programme is open to all countries, Russia included. The Turkish year applies even to English-taught programmes.

The UAE has no general state programme for foreigners, so universities fund students. There are four tiers here, and the top ones cover everything.

100% of tuition, a monthly stipend and a UAE visa for non-nationals.

A full tuition waiver for 4 years, a monthly stipend and insurance if needed.

Tuition, on-campus housing, insurance, a stipend and three return flights a year.

Many universities fund strong international students themselves, from a tuition discount to full cover.

A tuition reduction: full or €9,500 for a bachelor's, €18,500 a year for a master's.

€300 a month: half from the state, half from a sponsor. The university selects.
