Overview
International students can use the Iraqi Ministry’s current Study in Iraq platform to seek undergraduate scholarship places for the 2026/27 academic year, including free and half-tuition routes.
Complete scholarship details
The current Study in Iraq platform states that free scholarship opportunities cover study costs and housing, while half-free scholarships cover half of study costs. The Ministry launched the fourth edition for 2026/27 on 4 May 2026 and stated that undergraduate applications continue through September 2026. The portal currently provides account creation, university listings and scholarship-route information for foreign applicants.
Eligibility requirements
The programme targets international/foreign students applying to participating Iraqi universities. Applicants must satisfy the admission requirements of the selected institution and programme and complete the Ministry’s Study in Iraq application process. Scholarship availability and award type depend on the participating university and programme.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified on the live Study in Iraq portal and the Iraqi Ministry’s 4 May 2026 launch notice for the fourth 2026/27 edition. The Ministry states undergraduate applications run through September 2026 but does not state an exact final day on that notice, so no exact deadline is invented. The live portal describes both free scholarships and half-free scholarship support.
