About this opportunity
The Chalmers IPOET Scholarships 2027 offer a 75 percent tuition fee reduction to prospective fee paying international students starting a masters programme at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, in autumn 2027. Funded by the Swedish Council for Higher Education, the IPOET award is applied as a tuition fee waiver, rising to an 85 percent reduction in the second year for students who perform well in the first year. No money is paid to recipients, so living costs in Sweden must be funded separately. The scholarship application is separate from the programme application: you must first apply for a Chalmers masters programme through University Admissions, then submit the Chalmers scholarship application using the application number from that programme application. Selection is based on relative academic excellence, including weighted average grade, the stature of the home university, and the priority order of the Chalmers programme choices.

Deadline notes
The official Chalmers scholarships page, updated 15 October 2026, states that the page is not yet updated with the award details for the 2027 admission round, and that the application period for Chalmers administered scholarships for masters programmes runs from late November 2026 to mid January 2027. The scholarship deadline aligns with the programme application deadline, not the deadline for supporting documents. Masters programme applications through University Admissions run from 16 October 2026 to 15 January 2027, with the application fee and supporting documents due by 1 February 2027. The 15 January 2027 listing deadline is therefore the programme deadline that the scholarship window closes against, and applicants must submit the scholarship application inside the late November 2026 to mid January 2027 window.
