The KTH India Scholarship is aimed specifically at students from India. All the scholarships for international students at KTH cover the tuition fee of a one or two year master’s programme. All Indian students applying for scholarships must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• One must be a fee-paying student applying for a master's programme at KTH as the first priority.
• Students should have completed UG programme in India and must be an Indian citizen.

As the scholarship is awarded primarily on the basis of academic excellence, therefore only students who meet the admission requirements of the programme applied for are eligible for a scholarship.
