The Portugal Government Scholarship is accepting applications from eligible undergraduate students seeking financial assistance for higher education, with the application deadline set for September 30, 2026.
Administered by the Directorate-General for Higher Education (DGES), the need-based scholarship provides financial support to students who meet the required academic, financial, nationality, and residence conditions. The opportunity is available for undergraduate studies at eligible Portuguese institutions, including the University of Porto.
According to the scholarship listing, financial support can reach €15,000 per year, although the actual amount is determined based on each student’s financial circumstances and applicable regulations. Support may cover approved tuition and living expenses and is generally paid in monthly installments during the academic year.
Pakistani students should carefully check the eligibility requirements before applying. While Pakistan is included in the eligible-country information, Pakistani nationality alone does not guarantee eligibility. Certain residence or legal-status requirements may apply, and students holding International Student Status at the University of Porto are not eligible for this particular grant.
Applicants may be required to provide academic records, educational documents, financial and household information, and other supporting documents. Students must submit their applications through the DGES online system and ensure that all personal, academic, and financial information is accurate.
With the deadline approaching, eligible students are advised to review the requirements and complete their applications by September 30, 2026.
