Scholarships and programmes with application deadlines in February. Some deadlines pass quickly, so bookmark this page to check back when the next cycle opens.
Fulbright Foreign Student Program 2028 - Fully Funded
The Fulbright Foreign Student Program brings graduate students, young professionals and artists from more than 160 countries to the United States to take a master's or doctorate, or to run a research stay. The US Department of State funds it, IIE and AMIDEAST administer it, and roughly 4,000 grants go out every year. The grant carries J-1 visa sponsorship with the DS-2019 issued by IIE, funding toward tuition and living costs, a health benefit plan and enrichment activities, though the exact package is set country by country. There is no global application: you apply to the binational Fulbright Commission or the US Embassy in your own country, and each one publishes its own deadline. Indonesia closes on 15 February every year, Spain ran its last call from 15 January to 14 April.
NASA JPL Year-Round Internship 2027 - Paid STEM
The NASA JPL Year-Round Internship Program pays undergraduate and graduate STEM students to work on Lab at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory during the academic year and over the summer, with part-time and full-time terms offered all year. There is no single closing date. JPL accepts applications continuously, keeps each one active in its system for eight months, and lets mentors search that pool when they have a project to staff. Participants get a weekly monetary award, and full-time in-person interns whose university sits more than 50 miles from JPL also get a housing and travel allowance. The programme is open to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents enrolled at accredited U.S. universities, with a 3.0 GPA minimum and 3.5 preferred, and your first term has to run 10 weeks or more.
Harry S. Truman Scholarship 2027 - $30,000 Award
The Harry S. Truman Scholarship is the federal memorial to the thirty-third President and the best known graduate award in the USA for students headed into public service. Scholars receive up to $30,000 toward a graduate or professional degree, a required Leadership Week in Missouri, an optional summer in Washington DC, and a direct hiring authority with the federal government. You apply in your junior year, through your campus, and the Foundation picks one Scholar from each state plus up to 15 at-large Scholars. Nominations for the 2027 competition are due by 11:59 p.m. in your own time zone on 2 February 2027.
FAO Schwarz Fellowship 2027 - $105K-$115K Over 2 Years
The FAO Schwarz Fellowship is a paid two-year post-graduate role at a nonprofit host organisation in Boston, New York City or Philadelphia. Fellows starting in summer 2027 receive total compensation of roughly $115,000 in Boston and New York or $105,000 in Philadelphia, plus the same benefits as entry-level staff at their host. Applications for the 2027-2029 cycle open on 1 November 2026 and close at 9:00 PM ET on 1 February 2027. You must be a college senior graduating between November 2026 and summer 2027 from an accredited four-year institution, and you must already be able to work in the United States, because host organisations cannot sponsor work visas.
Iowa State University Scholarship 2027 - Up to $40,000
The Iowa State University Scholarship most international undergraduates chase is the International Merit Scholarship, awarded to first-year and transfer students assessed international tuition rates. First-year students can receive an Award of Achievement worth $5,000 to $10,000 a year, up to $40,000 across eight semesters, or an Award of Distinction worth $2,000 to $4,000 a year. Transfer students have their own smaller ladder that runs up to $20,000 over five semesters. Unlike the automatic International Student Excellence Award, the Merit Scholarship needs the OneApp scholarship application, and the Fall 2027 priority date for first-year applicants is 15 February 2027.
Do Good Accelerator Fellowship 2027 - $2,000 Stipend
The Do Good Accelerator Fellowship is an 8-week, paid program at the University of Maryland, College Park for students whose social impact project is already running. Fellows get one-on-one coaching, skills workshops, workspace in Thurgood Marshall Hall and a $2,000 stipend on completion in fall or spring. The Fall 2026 round closes 14 September 2026, and the Spring 2027 round is expected to open in January with a mid-February deadline.
