Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Scholarship Programmes

Each track has its own eligible-country list, degrees, fields and academic requirements. Some are for least-developed member countries and others for Muslim communities in non-member countries. PhD/postdoctoral tracks target defined applied-science and technology fields. Check eligible countries, grades, language, residence, host institution and any return or community-service obligations in the chosen booklet; the bank-wide description alone is insufficient.

Depending on the scheme, support may include tuition, living allowance, health/insurance, books or equipment, travel or research funding. Not all benefits apply to every programme, and some routes may include post-study funding or service obligations. Read the specific scholarship booklet before describing funding as fully comprehensive.

Depending on the scheme, documents may include passport, degrees and transcripts, nationality/residence proof, CV, motivation letter or research plan, academic references, language evidence, admission or host-institution details and scheme-specific undertakings. The current call and booklet set the final list; identify the track before preparing the file.

1) Identify the IsDB scheme that fits you. 2) Match nationality, level and field to its guide. 3) Confirm the cycle status and deadline; we do not confirm 2027–2028 as open because the available announcement does not clearly settle that point. 4) Prepare documents, translations and admission/research plan if required. 5) Submit through the specified channel and keep a copy. NEXA can help screen tracks and organise documents for a separately disclosed fee; funding and admission are not guaranteed.
