Scholarships and educational grants
Unlike abroad, Austrian universities and universities of applied sciences do not usually offer scholarships or educational grants to students. In Austria, separate organizations exist for awarding grants. One of the largest organisations that offers scholarships to foreign students is the OeAD, Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation.
For international students, there are further possibilities for educational support, depending on the country of original and the level of studies. You can find out which ones exist – as well possibilities to for research grants – from the Austrian online scholarship database. Here you will find all the relevant information for the application procedure and which documents you must provide. Please be aware that scholarships can be awarded from various institutions, among them also universities of applied sciences. You should also check in your home country if there are any scholarships for studying in Austria.
