Country
Saudi ArabiaAbout the KFUPM Scholarships
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals offers full scholarships to international students across engineering, sciences, technology, and business programs at all degree levels. Undergraduate applicants need a natural-science high school background and English proficiency (waived for graduates of English-speaking countries), while graduate applicants need a Bachelor's degree with a GPA of at least 2.5 out of 4.0 and a statement of purpose.
It is worth being realistic here: meeting the published eligibility criteria puts you in the applicant pool, but does not guarantee a scholarship given limited available seats and funding each cycle.
