Overview
International students from Guinea-Bissau enrolled full-time in an eligible University of Coimbra bachelor’s or integrated master’s programme can qualify for the University’s annual Graduation Merit Scholarship.
Complete scholarship details
The scholarship is awarded annually to qualifying international students and is maintained through the normal duration of the first-cycle or integrated-master’s programme while the published requirements continue to be met. The award ranges from €1,000 to €2,000 according to the student’s academic average.
Eligibility requirements
For the first year, students must enter through the University of Coimbra’s special international-student competition or an eligible institution/course transfer route, hold international-student status at enrolment and have an entry score of at least 140 points without rounding. Continuing students must remain enrolled full-time under the published rules; the award value is tied to academic averages from 14 to at least 17 points.
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 University of Coimbra’s current scholarship page and Regulation 346/2025. The page is active in 2026 and describes an annual institutional award rather than a separate scholarship application window, so no deadline was invented. University material identifies students from Guinea-Bissau among its CPLP/international student community.
