Provider
The University of Prince Mugrin (UPM), based in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, offers a set of merit-based scholarships for the 2026/2027 academic year across undergraduate, Master's, and PhD levels in all academic fields it teaches, including engineering, business, cybersecurity, and computer science. There are 6 distinct scholarship tracks. The flagship full scholarship for Saudi high-school graduates gives a 100% tuition waiver, a monthly stipend of 1,000 SAR (about €240 (est.) per month), and an economy-class travel allowance for students from outside Madinah; it is capped at 20 places and requires a weighted high-school GPA of 97% or above plus a maintained cumulative GPA of 3.5/4 over a 5-year programme (1 preparatory year plus 4 academic years). Further tracks include scholarships for children of UPM employees, national scholarships for qualified Saudi citizens, excellence scholarships (Type A and B), a talented scholarship for students with special skills, and international-student scholarships offering either a 50% or a 30% tuition waiver. A sibling discount adds 10% off tuition for a first sibling and 5% for a second. Applications are made through the official UPM scholarship portal, and applicants already enrolled elsewhere must withdraw before enrolling. Because award values, the number of seats, and the closing date are set each cycle, confirm the current 2026/2027 figures and deadline on the official UPM page before you apply.
