Scholarships for Algerian Students 2027/2028

Algerian students have several strong scholarship opportunities, but it is important to read the eligibility details carefully. Some scholarships include Algeria broadly, while others limit the level or field. For example, the latest Stipendium Hungaricum partner information listed Algeria with restrictions: bachelor’s and one-tier master’s were not available, while master’s and doctoral studies were available in specific fields.

This article focuses on scholarships that are either officially open to Algerian students in recent calls or open worldwide.

Best scholarships for Algerian students

1. Stipendium Hungaricum, Hungary

Algeria is included in Stipendium Hungaricum, but with important restrictions. The latest official partner information stated that full-degree bachelor’s studies were not available for Algeria, and one-tier master’s was also not available. Master’s studies were available primarily in Agriculture, Engineering, Economics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Computer Science or IT. Doctoral studies were also listed in those areas, and partial master’s and doctoral mobility were available.

This means Algerian students should not promote Stipendium Hungaricum as a bachelor’s route unless a future call changes the rules.

Best Stipendium fields for Algerians

• Engineering

• Agriculture

• Economics

• Natural sciences

• Social sciences

• Computer science

• IT

• Doctoral research in eligible fields

2. Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters

Erasmus Mundus is open worldwide, so Algerian students can apply to eligible master’s programmes. The scholarship can cover participation costs and contribute to travel, visa and living allowance.

This is one of the best options for Algerian students applying for master’s study in Europe.

3. DAAD scholarships, Germany

DAAD offers multiple scholarship routes for study and research in Germany. DAAD EPOS is especially relevant for applicants from developing and newly industrialised countries with at least two years of professional experience.

Algerian applicants with experience in engineering, energy, water, environment, public policy, economics, education or public health should check DAAD EPOS and other DAAD calls.

4. MAECI scholarships, Italy

Algeria appears in the official eligible country list for Italy’s MAECI scholarship. MAECI can support master’s, PhD, research, AFAM arts programmes and Italian language or culture courses, depending on the call.

Italy is a practical option for Algerian students because of Mediterranean proximity, moderate tuition and regional aid opportunities.

5. AECID Africa-Med scholarships, Spain

Algeria was included in the latest AECID Africa-Med Master call. The programme supported official in-person master’s study in Spain and required admission to an eligible Spanish master’s before applying.

This is useful for Algerian students interested in Spain, public policy, development, Mediterranean cooperation and governance.

6. Eiffel Scholarship, France

Eiffel is open to foreign students nominated by French institutions for master’s and PhD study. It provides an allowance and support services, but does not cover tuition fees.

Algerian students with strong French or English academic profiles can consider Eiffel for engineering, ecological transition, law, political science, economics and management.

7. GKS, South Korea

There is direct evidence of a Korean Embassy in Algeria call for the 2026 GKS graduate programme for Algerian students. The notice described opportunities for Algerian students wishing to continue master’s or doctoral studies in South Korea and mentioned three places for Algerian students.

For 2027, Algerian students should check the Korean Embassy in Algeria and Study in Korea.

8. MEXT Scholarship, Japan

MEXT requires nationality of a country with diplomatic relations with Japan, and applications are generally submitted through the responsible Japanese embassy or consulate.

Algerian students should check the Japanese Embassy in Algeria for annual MEXT announcements.

9. Slovakia Talent Scholarship

The Slovakia Talent Scholarship is open to international students worldwide and can support selected bachelor’s, combined bachelor-master and master’s studies.

This can be useful as a lower-cost European backup option.

Recommended strategy

Algerian students should prioritise:

• Erasmus Mundus for fully funded European master’s study.

• Stipendium Hungaricum for master’s and PhD only, unless future calls change bachelor’s eligibility.

• DAAD Germany for experienced professionals.

• MAECI Italy and AECID Spain for Mediterranean scholarship routes.

• Eiffel France for strong academic profiles.

• GKS Korea and MEXT Japan for Asian options.

Important warning for Algerian applicants

Do not advertise Stipendium Hungaricum as a bachelor’s scholarship for Algerian students unless the 2027/2028 official partner list changes. The latest available official information did not list bachelor’s or one-tier master’s as available for Algeria.
