The Doha Institute for Graduate Studies in Qatar has opened applications for its fully funded postgraduate scholarship programme for the 2026/2027 academic session.

The scheme is open to national and international students seeking admission into the Institute’s Master’s and Doctoral degree programmes.

According to information obtained on Tuesday, the Institute said interested applicants from any part of the world were eligible to apply, adding that the scholarship does not require IELTS or TOEFL for consideration.

It stated that the initiative forms part of Qatar’s commitment to attracting outstanding students and supporting academic development across the region.

The Institute, established in 2014 and located in Doha, noted that the scholarship aims to provide high-quality education in a diverse learning environment, while equipping students with leadership and research skills.

The scholarship covers multiple academic fields including social sciences, humanities, public administration, development economics, and conflict and humanitarian studies.

The scholarship consists of two categories – the Tamim Scholarship and the Sanad Grant.

The Tamim Scholarship is merit-based and awarded to students with exceptional academic records, while the Sanad Grant is targeted at applicants with proven financial need.

Both categories provide 100 per cent tuition waiver, free accommodation at Institute dormitories, monthly stipends, health insurance, and round-trip airfare to and from the student’s home country.

The Institute stated that applicants must hold a recognised Bachelor’s degree, while final-year undergraduate students may also apply using their available transcripts.

It added that there are no age restrictions, and candidates are required to submit identification documents, academic transcripts, a curriculum vitae, recommendation letters, a personal statement and an academic essay.

The application window closes on Jan. 15, 2026, after which eligible students will receive application forms directly from the Admission Office.

The statement advised interested candidates to create an account on the Institute’s application portal, upload the necessary documents and complete the online form before submission.
