Questions students ask

Am I eligible as an international applicant?

The funder's own eligibility page decides, and each record links it directly. Nationality, residence and degree-stage rules differ by scheme, so read the official criteria before applying.

How often is this page updated?

New calls are added through the week, and every record carries the date it was last verified on the funding organisation's own website. Records whose deadlines pass are closed automatically, so anything listed here was open at its last check.

Can I get deadline reminders?

Yes. The alerts box on this page sends a reminder before a deadline you choose, plus a short weekly note of new calls in your area. It is free.
