About ScholarMatch
A catalog that says what it knows, and what it does not
ScholarMatch is a free catalog of scholarships for international students. Each record is compiled from what the awarding body publishes, scored against the profile you build, and linked back to the provider's own page — which remains the page that decides everything. We are not a scholarship provider, a university or an agent: we do not accept applications and cannot influence a selection.
Who runs it
ScholarMatch is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for any provider it lists — including Chevening, Erasmus Mundus, Fulbright, DAAD, MEXT or Türkiye Bursları — and no provider pays to appear in the catalog.
Where records come from
A record holds the facts a provider publishes: award name, host institution, country, degree level, field, funding type, academic floor, language requirement and closing date, plus a link to the page it was compiled from. Where a provider publishes no single closing date, or the catalog holds no nationality rule, the record says exactly that. Gaps are labelled, never filled.
What a match score is
Matching is a fixed scoring rule applied to the criteria each record carries — degree level, field of study, academic floor and language requirement, plus nationality only where a rule is published. It is deterministic, so the same profile and the same record always produce the same score, and every dimension reports why it scored as it did. Unknown requirements are reported as unknown, not counted as a pass.
What this site does not claim
- That a listing is open today. Closing dates are shown as the provider published them, and they change between cycles — confirm on the provider's own page before you invest time in an application.
- That a record was recently checked. A check date appears only where the catalog stores one; most records do not carry one, and none are described as verified.
- That a score predicts selection. A high score is not an offer, and a low score does not rule out an award the provider decides to make.
- That we speak for a provider. No partner logos, acceptance rates or success statistics appear on this site, because none could be published honestly.
If a record is wrong, the useful thing is to say so. Report an error with the award name and the page that shows the correct detail, and the record is revised against it.
Who it's for
Pakistani, Nepali, Bangladeshi and international students aiming for fully funded study abroad. Whether you are targeting Chevening, Erasmus Mundus, Fulbright, DAAD, MEXT or Türkiye Bursları, ScholarMatch shows where the published criteria appear to fit your profile — and where they do not — before the deadline passes.
