Foreign scholarship applications deadline has been extended in the 'Education' sector
The Ministry of Higher Education in [country] has extended the registration deadline for its foreign scholarship program. This extension applies to individuals holding the English Secondary School Certificate and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB/DP).
The new deadline for registration is 12:00 noon on Friday, August 22, 2025. This is the second time the ministry has extended the deadline for the 2025/2026 academic year.
The foreign scholarship program, offered by the Ministry of Higher Education, is open to individuals who meet the specific eligibility criteria. These criteria include holding the English Secondary School Certificate and the IB/DP.
While there is no explicit listing for a foreign scholarship program specifically offered by the Ministry of Higher Education for the 2025/2026 academic year that targets holders of the English Secondary School Certificate and IB/DP, there are several other foreign scholarship programs offered by ministries of higher education with deadlines falling between January and September 2025.
For example, the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education Scholarships 2025/2026 for Malaysian students has an application deadline of September 15, 2025. These scholarships are fully funded and aimed at undergraduate studies and Arabic language programs but do not explicitly mention IB/DP or English Secondary School Certificate holders.
Similarly, the Qatar Government Scholarships 2025-2026 deadline is September 30, 2025, but these are for Qatari nationals only.
It's worth noting that most such scholarship programs require English proficiency certificates (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL) rather than just the secondary certificate or IB/DP diploma itself. Specific requirements for IB/DP or English Secondary School Certificate holders would typically be detailed in the official scholarship announcement or application portal of the relevant Ministry.
If you hold the English Secondary School Certificate or IB/DP and are targeting such scholarships, you should:
- Check the official website of the Ministry of Higher Education offering the scholarship.
- Prepare and submit English proficiency proof by the stated deadline.
- Apply by the typically mid to late 2025 deadlines (September is a common final date).
- Follow any interview or exam procedures after preliminary nomination, if applicable.
Since no exact current listing for your specific criteria was found in the results, please consult the official Ministry of Higher Education or scholarship portal relevant to your country for the most accurate and updated deadlines and requirements.
