The scholarship is open to a broad range of academic disciplines, reflecting the diverse programs offered across the network. It is designed to support students who contribute to the global academic community and who seek to enhance their educational experience through international study. Applicants should consult their home university’s alumni office or the prospective host university’s scholarship office for detailed application guidelines and deadlines.

Financing Information
Funding Structure and Administration of the Universitas 21 Alumni Scholarship
The Universitas 21 Alumni Scholarship is funded and administered individually by each member university within the Universitas 21 network. This decentralized approach means that the scholarship's financial value, eligibility requirements, application procedures, and award conditions may differ significantly depending on the institution offering the scholarship. Generally, the funding covers various costs associated with postgraduate study or research, including tuition fees, living expenses, travel costs, and research-related expenditures. However, the extent of coverage varies by university and by year, reflecting differing institutional policies and available resources. Applicants are advised to review the specific scholarship details provided by the member university to which they intend to apply. Many member universities allocate a limited number of scholarships annually, making the awards competitive. The application process often requires submission of academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, a research proposal or study plan, and proof of alumni status. Some universities may also require evidence of English language proficiency or other admission criteria. Since the scholarship is merit-based, academic achievement and potential for contribution to the academic community are key selection factors. Given the variability in scholarship administration, prospective applicants should plan ahead and consult official university websites or contact scholarship offices directly to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding application deadlines, required documentation, and award amounts.
