24 active scholarships for Indian students pursuing a Masters in Sweden, each linked to its official source.

✓ Official sources only · ✓ 3 full-funding awards · ✓ 23/24 confirmed at source (run: 2026-07-29)

24 active Master's scholarships cut Sweden study costs for Indian students, topped by the India-only KTH Scholarship (full tuition plus a living allowance) and the Swedish Institute's Scholarships for Global Professionals, which also covers living costs. Most of the list, though - 12 awards - only waives tuition, since Sweden charges tuition solely to non-EU/EEA students in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

How many Master's scholarships are available for Indian students in Sweden?

As of the latest verification run, 24 active Master's scholarships are listed for Sweden, including 3 that cover both tuition and a living stipend, 9 partial tuition reductions, and 12 tuition-only waivers. Every entry links to its own official university or Swedish Institute source.

Which Sweden Master's scholarships are specifically for Indian students?

Two stand out - the KTH India Scholarship, open only to Indian citizens who completed their undergraduate degree in India, and the Swedish Institute Scholarships for Global Professionals, which names India on its list of eligible countries for professionals with work experience. Beyond those two, every other Swedish scholarship on this list is open to "all non-EU/EEA/Switzerland" applicants, with Indian eligibility confirmed explicitly on each entry.

Do Sweden Master's scholarships require a specific test score?

No - none of these scholarships set their own GRE, IELTS, or TOEFL cutoff; the language and academic requirements come entirely from the university's own Master's admission process at universityadmissions.se, and the scholarship is assessed automatically once you're admitted and ranked the university as first choice.

What does it mean that most Sweden scholarships only waive tuition?

Sweden charges tuition fees only to non-EU/EEA/Switzerland students, so nearly all 24 scholarships here are built to offset that one fee - 12 waive 25-100% of tuition outright, 9 apply a smaller percentage discount, and only 3 add a monthly living stipend on top. Budget for Sweden's living costs separately unless you land one of the 3 full-funding awards.

When should I apply for a Sweden Master's scholarship?

Nearly all of them - 24 of the 24 listings - run on a fixed calendar window each year, almost always clustered around January-February to line up with the Round 1 application deadline at universityadmissions.se. Ranking your target university as first choice is often a condition of the scholarship, so apply for the program well before that window closes.

How current is this list, and what happens when a scholarship changes?

23 of these 24 entries were confirmed live at their official source on the latest verification run; the remaining 1 are held in an integrity queue as not-yet-confirmed - their official page is live, but we couldn't confirm the listing on our last review run (sometimes the provider's site restricts outside access). See the Verification Ledger for the full methodology and run date.
