MCI Innsbruck International Undergraduate Scholarship
MCI — the Management Center Innsbruck — is Austria's leading entrepreneurial business and technology university, set in the Tyrolean Alps. It runs a strong portfolio of English-taught Bachelor programmes in management, business, and engineering, and offers merit-based partial-tuition scholarships to talented international undergraduates. For Sri Lankan students this is an accessible, English-medium route into an Austrian degree with close industry ties and a practical, applied teaching style. MCI is a university of applied sciences (Fachhochschule), so it charges tuition (unlike Austria's free-tuition public universities), but the scholarships reduce that cost and the programmes are designed around employability. Awards are partial rather than full, so plan a realistic funding picture; we'll help you model the LKR net cost before you apply.
Open for autumn 2026 entry — international Bachelor applications and scholarship assessment run through spring/summer 2026

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
MCI Management Center Innsbruck — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
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.
What it covers
Partial Tuition Waiver (Merit-Based). 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.
fact_check Eligibility Criteria
Admission to an MCI Bachelor
You must apply to and be admitted to an English-taught Bachelor at MCI for autumn 2026 entry. Sri Lankan applicants need a completed secondary qualification (A-Levels or equivalent) with good grades, plus a successful MCI admissions assessment.
Merit-Based Selection
Scholarships are awarded on academic merit and the strength of your overall application — grades, motivation, and any relevant experience. The strongest admitted international applicants receive the awards.
Honest Cost Note
MCI is a fee-charging university of applied sciences and these awards are partial, not full. Even with a scholarship you will need a funding plan for the remaining tuition plus living costs in Innsbruck. We help you model the real LKR figure first.
English Proficiency
Programmes are taught in English; you'll need IELTS 6.0-6.5 or equivalent. Sri Lankan applicants from an English-medium schooling background usually qualify via MOI waiver where MCI accepts it.
account_tree Application Process
Apply for admission
Submit your MCI application with transcripts, your secondary qualification, a motivation letter, and proof of English. Complete the MCI admissions assessment (interview / test as required by the programme).
Scholarship consideration
Indicate your interest in scholarship support; the admissions committee assesses merit and assigns any award. Some applicants may submit a short scholarship motivation statement.
Receive your offer
Your offer letter states any scholarship as a tuition reduction. Review the net cost before accepting.
Enrol and apply for an Austrian student visa
Accept the place, then apply for the Austrian student residence permit / visa via the embassy process. MCI provides enrolment and visa-support documents and helps international arrivals settle in Innsbruck.

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.
Work out your real number
Tuition, living costs, visa funds and flights for your destination — so you know the gap you are actually trying to close.
