JKU Linz International Student Scholarship
Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU) is a public Austrian university with notable strengths in informatics, artificial intelligence, law, business, and the natural sciences, and a modern park-like campus by the Danube. Austria's low public tuition for non-EU students — roughly EUR 726.72 per semester — already makes the base cost modest, and JKU plus partner organisations offer merit and tuition-support grants to strong international students across Bachelor's and Master's levels. These grants vary in value and eligibility by scheme and year; many are performance- or need-linked rather than a single fixed sum, so treat them as support that reduces an already-low cost. For Sri Lankan applicants, JKU is a credible option in computing/AI and business; a strong A/L profile (for Bachelor's) or a first-class/upper-second degree (for Master's) is the competitive base. Confirm the specific scheme, value, and deadline with JKU's international office.

Strong Academic Record
Bachelor's applicants need good A/L results or a recognised equivalent; Master's applicants need a relevant Bachelor's, ideally first-class or upper-second from a recognised Sri Lankan university. Subject alignment matters for technical Master's.
Admission to a JKU Programme
You must be admitted to an eligible JKU Bachelor's or Master's programme. Grants are then assessed by the relevant scheme — typically via the international office or partner foundations.
Language of Instruction
Some JKU programmes are in English (notably several Master's and the AI track); others are in German. Check the language per programme. English-taught programmes require IELTS/TOEFL evidence; Sri Lankan English-medium graduates may use an MOI route where accepted.
Confirm the Specific Scheme
Because grant values and eligibility vary by scheme and year, confirm the exact scholarship, amount, and deadline with JKU's international office before relying on it for your visa funding.
