FHWien der WKW International Bachelor's Scholarship

FHWien der WKW is Vienna's leading university of applied sciences for management and communication, run in partnership with the Vienna Chamber of Commerce. It offers practice-oriented, English-taught Bachelor's programmes in areas like management, communication, and digital business, and runs merit and need-based scholarship support for talented international students — Sri Lankans included. As an applied-sciences institution, FHWien's strength is its close industry links and built-in internships, so a scholarship here funds not just a degree but a career-focused programme in one of Europe's most liveable capitals. Austria's public-sector fees are modest and the post-study job-search residence permit lets graduates stay and seek work.

Annual cycle — Bachelor's admission typically runs winter to spring for the autumn intake; scholarship support assessed alongside admission

How you are considered

Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.

payments

What it covers

Partial Tuition / Merit Award (English Bachelor's). This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.

Where we come in

We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?

Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
