The competition for the Fulbright Foreign Student Program starts around February each year. Those selected would begin their Master’s-level studies in the U.S. beginning August-September every year. The Fulbright Foreign Student Program provides all expenses (including travel) for a master’s degree program of up to two years at selected U.S. universities, in any field except medicine. The competitions are nation-wide and open. Selections are made by the Fulbright Commission's bi-national Board of Directors after an intensive review of applications, English language screening, and interviews.
Those who completed their S.L.C. or its equivalent degree from rural, underrepresented areas are strongly encouraged to apply.
NFP
The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP) is a scholarships programme that was initiated by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is financed from the budget for development cooperation and aims to help increase the supply of skilled labour.
The target group consists of professionals who work in one of the 50 NFP countries (of which Nepal is a part). By successfully completing a study programme, they will return to their jobs with the skills to further develop and strengthen the organizations that employ them.
The demand for education and training has to be connected with the institutional development of the employing organisations. The employer is therefore the one who needs to nominate the candidates for further training.
Scholarships are available for:
IMPIT
IMPIT is an international Master's Degree Programme in Information Technology in Finland. The programme aims at offering an international Master's Degree in IT at the European standards in less than two years. The prerequisite is BSc level education with a background in Computer Science, IT or related discipline. The language of instruction is English.
This is a limited number of scholarships for very exceptional students awarded on a competitive basis.
One of the aims is that as many students as possible can be employed by a Finnish ICT-company during the second year. It is also possible to integrate a research orientation into the degree studies as students can join several research groups at the Departments. The awarded Master's Degree is accepted in Europe, USA and world-wide as a qualification for PhD studies.
In this master's degree programme you can study at the Uniersity of Eastern Finland (Joensuu campus) and Lappeenrantha University of Technology. The application is common for both universities.
DAAD
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is the largest funding organization in the world supporting the international exchange of students and scholars.
There are two forms of scholarships – financial and non-monetary scholarships – both of which are often coupled together:
In the case of financial scholarships, the recipient is awarded a fixed amount, paid out on a monthly basis over a defined funding period. These types of scholarships are often full scholarships, i.e., they generally cover the applicant’s entire living expenses. Recipients of partial scholarships, however, are required to secure additional financial support to cover their living expenses. When awarded a full scholarship, recipients are generally not permitted to receive funding from other scholarships simultaneously.
In addition to financial support, many institutions also offer non-monetary scholarships. Recipients are invited to workshops, lectures and scientific conferences where they also have the opportunity to network with other scholarship holders. In most cases, these non-monetary scholarship programmes aim to create a long-standing relationship between the scholarship holder and the institution well beyond the scholarship period.
All the programmes have one thing in common, however – no one is entitled to a scholarship.

Each year universities and university colleges in Norway are allocated a certain number of quota students. The scheme normally includes courses taught in English at Master’s and PhD level, in addition to certain professional degrees.
