Portugal Government Higher Education International Scholarship 2025
The Portugal Higher Education Scholarship stands as a state-backed lifeline for students of meager means who are enrolled in either public or private universities across the nation. Administered by the General Directorate of Higher Education (DGES), this endowment is not merely a financial buffer but a safeguard ensuring that monetary burdens do not extinguish the light of learning. It cushions the weight of tuition fees and sustains the living needs of students over the breadth of an academic year.
