A genuinely full package covers tuition at the international rate, a living stipend indexed to the host city, at least one return flight, visa and health costs, and often a settling-in or thesis allowance. Where a component is absent from the record, it is absent because the official source does not state it, not because it is assumed to be included.
Eligibility
Eligibility patterns to check first
Nationality restrictions are the most common eligibility limit on full awards.
Return-home commitments apply to most government-funded full scholarships.
Work-experience minimums are frequent on development-focused programmes.
Full awards rarely cover dependants; where they do, it is stated explicitly.
Several programmes exclude applicants who already hold a qualification at the same level.
Deadlines
How the deadlines work
Full awards are the earliest deadlines in the cycle, typically closing eight to twelve months before study begins. If a programme starts in September, a full-funding deadline in the preceding October or November is normal.
Applying
Application advice for this search
Check the funding components list rather than the headline label.
Confirm whether flights, visa costs and insurance are included, since these are the most common gaps.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What does fully funded actually include?
It varies by provider. The strongest packages cover tuition, a living stipend, return travel and insurance. Some awards described as full cover only tuition. Read the funding components on each record and confirm on the official source.
Are fully funded scholarships harder to get?
They attract far more applicants than partial awards, but the selection is usually criteria-driven rather than purely competitive on grades. Meeting every stated requirement precisely matters more than an exceptional academic record.
Do fully funded scholarships cover my family?
Usually not. A small number of government awards include a dependant allowance, and it is always stated explicitly. Where a record does not mention dependants, assume they are not funded.
