20 Great PhD Scholarships for International Students
- Published March 10, 2024
- Last Updated March 14, 2024
![phd fellowships for international students in usa Image of international students for our ranking of best PhD scholarships for international students](https://i0.wp.com/www.greatcollegedeals.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/shutterstock_1244321875.jpg?resize=500%2C297&ssl=1)
Getting your PhD can be expensive, especially for international students. Scholarships specific to international PhD students can help ease the financial burden. The United States is home to many top-notch colleges and universities. This makes the U.S. a popular choice for those seeking to earn a PhD. However , education in the U.S. is not cheap. And it tends to be even more expensive for international students. There are many ways to mitigate the costs, however. Third-party PhD scholarships are one of those ways.
The PhD is the highest possible degree you can achieve, known as a terminal degree. Graduates are recognized as experts in their field. PhD students can expect careers in:
- administration
- supervision
- higher education
Since doctoral studies are rigorous, it’s difficult to work full-time and earn a salary. International students also have the challenge of currency changes and traveling expenses. Scholarships, grants, and fellowships provide free aid to make a doctorate more attainable. If you’re studying in the United States, consider these 20 great PhD scholarships for international students .

Can I get health insurance as an international college student?
Health insurance is a major concern for higher education students in the United States. Most colleges provide some form of health insurance through the university. Some colleges extend employee health insurance to PhD students who teach. Joining the faculty is one of the best ways to get health insurance. If that’s not an option, there should be other ways to acquire affordable health insurance. Research assistantships can also provide insurance.
What colleges have the most international students?
What majors are popular with students of other nationalities.
- aerospace engineering
- petroleum engineering
- environmental engineering.
- social sciences
- biological sciences
- data science,
- fine and applied arts .
Psychology, including clinical psychology, and developmental psychology are also popular.
What is the best way to find financial aid for my degree?
While the scholarships we featured here are outstanding, there are many other scholarships out there. Check with any organizations you’re part of. They include:
- a religious organization
- a political organization
- a corporation
Many offer financial aid opportunities. Additionally, if you are already a student, see if there are any programs in the U.S. that have a partnership with your school. With this article we tried to focus on generally available third party scholarships. Many colleges have specific financial aid only for students at their school. You should check with all the colleges you are interested in, especially those with high percentages of foreign students.
Check with your professional organization, if you have one, for scholarships available through your organization. They may also know of very niche scholarships that you might qualify for. The scholarships we featured here are mostly available through U.S. and international organizations. If you live in a developing country, your government may have scholarships designed to help future leaders study abroad. Regardless of your country’s economic development status, you should check with your government if your field is rare or has a shortage. Governments will often use scholarships as incentives to get people to major in sectors short on labor.
Another thing to keep in mind is that PhD fellowships and scholarships can be incredibly granular. Sometimes requirements become so narrow as to specify specific research topics, like artificial intelligence or human origins, to name a couple we’ve seen researching this article. Keep in mind that a great research proposal can go a long way toward securing you grants and fellowships.
Is it feasible for the average person to study abroad?
It’s easier and more common for graduate students to study abroad. This is because graduate students tend to either have more money, or their programs are shorter than those of undergraduate students. Whether or not it’s a good option for you to study abroad will depend on several factors.
First and foremost is money. It’s just more expensive to study abroad than it is at home. Even if you earn full scholarships or fellowships, it can still be financially taxing to study abroad.
You also have to be careful about your visa. Student visas might limit your ability to work and pay for living expenses while studying abroad. While the international scholarships we feature here are incredible, they are the best of the best and competition is fierce.
The ongoing public health crisis isn’t helping people who want to study abroad either.
So there are many challenges if you want to earn your PhD degree in another country. However, if you really feel your best choice is to study abroad, and you can get the aid you need to make it happen, it can be the experience of a lifetime and great for your career.
And here’s a tip. If you want the best weather, pick a California school.

Most international students are familiar with the fact that the US doesn’t offer a lot of financial aid or scholarship options to those who aren’t US citizens.
But there are a number of scholarships, grants and fellowships available from many universities in the country for those pursuing graduate or postgraduate study.
So if you’ve dreamed of studying in the country but couldn’t afford it for your Bachelor-level study, don’t give up just yet!
You could be eligible to receive funding to pursue a Master’s degree or to support your PhD. Here’s our top picks for scholarships or fellowships offered to international students for graduate programmes.

The Fulbright Foreign Student Program is designed to enable overseas graduate students to study and conduct research at several US universities.
The scholarship is not resdricted to a particular specialisation or degree either, like most scholarship programmes – it’s offered across several disciplines.
There are approximately 4,000 scholarships awarded every year to international graduate students. Eligibility requirements depend on the country you’re from.
The scholarship covers funding for the duration of study including tuition, living stipend, health insurance, and more.

Studying for PhD in USA Vs UK/Europe
The USA is majorly popular for postgraduate study for international students due to the high standard of academic study and the variety of subjects that are available. Studying a PhD in USA is not the same as in UK or Europe. For instance, students in the USA are usually in direct contact with their professor, compared with in the UK where students might find that their PhD program is headed by a professor who gives a little less flexibility to change their research and study areas.

At CDC they gain an in-depth understanding of applied epidemiology, the role of epidemiology in medicine and health, and the role of physicians in the public health system. With the guidance of experienced CDC epidemiologists, they perform epidemiologic analyses and research, design public health interventions and assist in field investigations. Possible areas of concentration include birth defects, injury prevention, chronic disease, infectious disease, environmental health, reproductive health and minority health.
- CDC Foundation - O.C. Hubert Fellowship in International Health The year-long fellowship provides third- and fourth-year medical and veterinary students with valuable public health experience in an international setting. The main focus of the fellowship is a 6- to 12-week field assignment.

Volunteer/Partially Funded:
- American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) Overseas Assistance Grant AMWA provides small grants, up to $1,500, for assistance with transportation costs (airfare, train fare, etc.) connected with pursuing medical studies in an off-campus setting where the medically neglected will benefit. The Grants are awarded to national AMWA members completing their second, third or fourth year of an accredited U.S. medical or osteopathic medical school or a resident who will be spending a minimum of six weeks and no longer than one year in a sponsored program which will serve the needs of the medically underserved.
- International Society of Travel Medicine The ISTM Research Award program provides moderate grants (between USD 5,000 and USD 10,000) each year through a peer-review process implemented by the ISTM Research and Grants Committee. These grants are designed to stimulate travel medicine research by supporting comprehensive research projects or, for larger projects, providing support for pilot studies to enable researchers to collect data/test hypotheses so that they can then apply to other agencies for more substantive research grants.
- Remote Area Medical The Remote Area Medical (RAM) Volunteer Corps is a non-profit, volunteer, airborne relief corps dedicated to serving mankind by providing free health care, dental care, eye care, veterinary services, and technical and educational assistance to people in remote areas of the United States and the world. Volunteer doctors, nurses, pilots, veterinarians and support workers participate in expeditions (at their own expense) in some of the world's most exciting places. Medical supplies, medicines, facilities and vehicles are donated. To volunteer as a student, you must have school sponsorship and supervision in the form of a licensed practitioner. RAM aims at development rather than dependence so volunteers are typically involved in education and organization as much as direct health care service.
- Volunteer Missionary Movement The Volunteer Missionary Movement (VMM) was founded in 1969 by Edwina Gateley, an English laywoman, in response to a need for lay people to become more deeply involved in the mission life of the Church. After spending three years in Uganda, where she opened a very successful school for young girls and worked as a teacher, she returned to England and began to recruit and train volunteer missionaries to work in education, healthcare and pastoral projects in eastern Africa. As VMM became more widely known, it was able to send volunteers to communities in need throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Transportation, housing, and food can be covered by the organization.
- Unite for Sight Global Impact Corps Unite For Sight supports eye clinics in Ghana, India and Honduras by investing human and financial resources in their social ventures to eliminate patient barriers to eye care. Unite For Sight applies best practices in eye care, public health, volunteerism, and social entrepreneurship to achieve our goal of high-quality eye care for all. Global Impact Fellows are volunteers that range from undergraduate students to medical students, public health students and professionals, nurses, educators, opticians, optometrists and ophthalmologists. They receive all necessary training from Unite For Sight so that they are able to assist the local doctors with global health delivery. Global Impact Fellows participating with Unite For Sight abroad have the option to also design and pursue a global health research study.

Graduate School Program Opens New Opportunities for International Students
![phd fellowships for international students in usa Nithesh Chandrasekharan](https://ipib.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/1142/2022/10/Nithesh-C-200x300_7489.jpg)
Nithesh Chandrasekharan is an international student from Sri Lanka and India with a passion for novel experiences. A first-generation college student who thrives in collaborative work environments, Chandrasekharan came to the University of Wisconsin–Madison to learn, build skills, and identify future career paths while pursuing a Ph.D. through the Integrated Program in Biochemistry (IPiB).
Working in research labs as an undergraduate at James Madison University and now as a graduate student in Scott Coyle ’s lab gave Chandrasekharan a taste of what a career in academia would entail. He wished to seek opportunities in industry, too, so that he could clarify his career goals and use his time in graduate school to gain experiences that would ready him for life after graduation.
As an international student, Chandrasekharan’s options for industry-based experiences were limited. International students’ visas often prohibit off-campus paid work — including paid internships. This meant that opportunities such as the Biotechnology Training Program (BTP), which requires that trainees complete a paid internship, were unavailable to him.
Fortunately for Chandrasekharan, an internship pilot program at UW–Madison has opened the door for international students to get a feel for life in the biotech industry. UW’s Graduate School Industry Internship Program , which grew from the opportunities available through BTP, will soon enter its third year. Participation is available to students with dissertator status and aims to enhance doctoral students’ competitiveness for a variety of careers beyond academia.
“The internship program provides a valuable experiential learning opportunity for our graduate students that will both enhance their research skillset as well as prepare them for success in their future scientific careers,” explains William Karpus, dean of the Graduate School.
The program’s internship requirements are flexible and can meet the parameters of international students’ visas. With a wide range of internship options, students like Chandrasekharan can build skills and relationships in any life science field.
“The opportunities are rather limited for international students,” says Chandrasekharan. “I’m so thankful to [BTP director] Brian Fox for setting a precedent with BTP and to the Graduate School for starting this pilot program. It’s allowed me to see how my scientific knowledge can be applied and expanded in a different context.”
Chandrasekharan applied and was accepted as a graduate school intern at Aldevron , a biotechnology company in Madison, WI. The internship’s emphasis on protein purification fit well with his skills and interests. “In the Coyle Lab, we can bioengineer proteins and grow them in different types of cells. We break the cells apart and purify what’s left until we isolate the protein we want to study. We can then use that protein in different experiments to gain better understanding about the biological processes that protein is involved in,” explains Chandrasekharan. “Companies like Aldevron can use these same techniques to produce engineered proteins for clients in biomedical research and other fields.”
Aldevron’s internship program has strong support from Tom Foti, the vice president and general manager of the company’s Protein Business Unit. Foti, who had his own transformative internship during his undergraduate years at North Dakota State University, sees value in biotech internships beyond building research skills. “I always dreamed that when Aldevron expanded we’d be able to have interns here,” says Foti. “Our interns don’t just participate in the science, they learn how a high performing workplace culture operates from the inside and how to be part of a team. I think that’s very important for young scientists trying to decide if industry is for them.”
![phd fellowships for international students in usa Aldevron's 2023 interns](https://ipib.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/1142/2024/06/1686949095559-300x225.jpg)
Aldevron’s internship is rigorous and competitive. Their selection process mirrors that used to select their employees: scientific acumen is just as important as curiosity and critical thinking skills. For the interns who are selected, Foti and his team are committed to training the next generation of industry scientists. Chandrasekharan and the three other interns in his cohort participated in the training, problem solving, and decision making that comes with industry-based applied science.
This approach was just what Chandrasekharan was looking for. “One of the biggest reasons I wanted to do an industry internship was that I wanted to see how bench science connects to the business and managerial side of biotech,” recalls Chandrasekharan. “I wanted to see if I’m a good fit for that part of the work. They showed me how I can translate my Ph.D. skills into managing projects, working as a team to solve problems, and communicating with stakeholders about the science. I learned how to think about optimizing technical workflows while working toward clients’ goals. These are all things that build off my Ph.D. work but required me to recontextualize my skills and knowledge.”
Chandrasekharan left his internship ready to complete his doctoral research and pursue a career in the biotech industry. He hopes to be just one of many international students able to gain clarity through the Graduate School Industry Internship Program. “There’s nothing like firsthand experience,” says Chandrasekharan. “My hope is that this program is successful and becomes a long-term option for international students who want to apply academic training in a novel setting.”

Research scholarships and fees

Scholarships for HDR
The range of UWA scholarships available to support your Higher Degree by Research includes those funded by the Australian Government, University, and external organisations. Scholarships can cover costs such as tuition fees, stipends (living allowances), overseas student health cover, travel, research and relocation allowances.

At UWA we award research scholarships through a competitive merit-based selection process which includes two annual scholarship rounds and some additional selection processes. Eligible applicants are ranked according to academic achievement and research potential, based on evidence provided.

Understanding RTP scholarships, stipends and allowances
The Australian Government’s Research Training Program (RTP) is a dedicated pool of funding to support domestic and international students who are undertaking Research Doctorate and Research Masters degrees.

Domestic RTP Tuition Fees Offset Scholarship
Automatically provided to all domestic HDR students, without the need for a competitive application process.
International RTP Tuition Fees Offset Scholarship
Awarded to selected international HDR students, on the basis of a competitive application process.
RTP Stipend Scholarship (living allowance)
Awarded to a limited number of domestic and international students, via a competitive selection process. The current value is $35,000 per annum.
RTP Allowance

How RTP works for HDR students
An RTP Fees Offset pays for the tuition fees of a Higher Degree by Research student that would otherwise have been paid by the student.
Students approved for Fees Offset scholarships are normally entitled to up to four years full-time equivalent for a doctorate by research and two years full-time equivalent study for a master's by research. The value of Fees Offset at UWA is approximately $33,500 per annum, and is subject to change in future years.
