The Government of Russia has announced fully funded scholarships for Pakistani students for the 2026 academic year, offering an exceptional opportunity to pursue higher education in top Russian universities. This initiative is part of Russia’s ongoing commitment to strengthening educational and cultural ties with Pakistan and aims to give deserving students access to world-class academic programs.

The scholarship program includes Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD degrees across multiple disciplines such as engineering, medicine, computer science, natural sciences, economics, business administration, and the humanities. Through this program, Russian institutions invite talented Pakistani students to study abroad and become part of a global community contributing to innovation and research.

Under the fully funded scheme, tuition fees are completely waived for all selected candidates. In addition, recipients receive a monthly stipend to assist with living expenses, allowing them to focus on academic and research activities. However, certain costs such as travel, accommodation, and daily expenditures may need to be covered by the students themselves.

The scholarship is open to Pakistani nationals who meet the eligibility and academic criteria for their chosen degree level. Applicants can apply for undergraduate, postgraduate, or doctoral studies depending on their previous qualifications and field of interest.

To apply, candidates must register and submit their applications through the official Russian government education portal, following all required steps and documentation guidelines provided on the site. The selection process is based on academic merit and the applicant’s motivation to pursue studies in Russia’s leading educational institutions.

This initiative provides Pakistani students with a chance to gain international exposure, advanced academic training, and cultural exchange opportunities in one of the world’s most dynamic higher education systems.
