KTH Scholarship 2027 Full Tuition

Yes, fee paying international students can have the full tuition covered for a one or two year masters at KTH Royal Institute of Technology through the KTH Scholarship 2027, and CMA Nigeria confirms this route for Nigerian applicants ranking a KTH programme first.

Living costs are not included, so you still need to show funds for the Swedish residence permit. The award is competitive and based on academic excellence plus motivation to support sustainable development.

What the KTH Scholarship Covers

The scholarship waives the full tuition fee for eligible masters programmes.

• Covers the first year and the second year if first year results are satisfactory
• Open to programmes with two years spent at KTH, plus selected joint programmes
• Does not cover living expenses or the application fee
• In a recent year about 9 percent of admitted scholarship applicants received it

KTH selects on academic excellence, the ranking of your previous university, relevant experience and your plan to contribute to the sustainable development goals.

You must apply for the masters via universityadmissions.se as first priority and pay the application fee before the scholarship form is considered.

Who Can Apply for the KTH Scholarship 2027

Fee paying students from outside the EU EEA EFTA are eligible. You need to meet the entry requirements of your chosen programme and rank it as first priority.

Before you commit, the Cost calculator adds up tuition, living costs, insurance and flights for your whole study period, and shows how much a scholarship would still leave you to fund.

Strong grades, extracurricular research or work experience, and a clear motivation letter help.
