Who actually wins it

Professionals from eligible developing countries with a concrete plan for applying the qualification at home.

What they ask for

  • Citizen of an eligible developing country including Nepal
  • At least two years' work experience
  • Commit to returning home for two years

How to apply, in order

  1. 1Watch for the round opening, usually in the first quarter.
  2. 2Document at least two years of relevant work experience.
  3. 3Build the application around what you will do in Nepal afterwards. The two-year return commitment is central, not a formality.

Before you count on it

Build your plan on funds you actually have, and treat a scholarship as a reduction if it arrives. Visa officers assess the money you can evidence today, not an award you have applied for.

Application windows are the usual months, not fixed dates, and rules change between rounds. Always confirm on the funder's own page before planning around one.
