Saïd Foundation Scholarship is a full funding scholarship for Master’s students, with coverage that includes full tuition, living and maintenance costs, arrival allowance, health insurance, visa fees, and a return economy flight. Recipient stories also reinforce that funding can be substantial. For example, Azza said the standalone Saïd Foundation offer “covered full tuition and a living stipend.”

The scholarship is listed for Master’s degrees. The recipient stories in this category also match that pattern: Malak Najami is pursuing a Master’s in Dental Surgery at the University of Leeds, while Azza completed an MA in Education Policy and International Development at the University of Sussex.

Requirements vary, but strong academics, clear goals, references, and relevant experience usually matter a lot for postgraduate funding. The recipient stories add useful first-hand patterns: strong academic performance, leadership, service, and a clear mission. Azza graduated top of her university class and built her application around refugee education and long-term impact. Malak emphasized leadership, volunteer work, and clear plans to improve surgical care after graduation. Together, these stories suggest that a compelling Saïd Foundation application should connect academic ability with a strong sense of purpose and community impact.

Common scholarship documents include the application form, academic transcripts and certificates, test scores, references, passport copy, personal statement or research proposal, motivation letter or essay, and a resume.

Start early, tailor your application carefully, and prepare seriously for interviews. Azza said, “I treated the application like a long-term project,” and described reviewing successful essays, aligning her story with scholarship values, and practicing through mock interviews. Similarly, Malak Najami advised applicants to “Tailor each application to the scholarship’s mission.”

Yes. That is one of the clearest lessons from the recipient stories. Azza applied to Chevening, Saïd, and the Irish Government Scholarship in the same year and received offers from all three. Reflecting on that strategy, she said, “It’s important not to depend on a single opportunity.”

Yes. Both the general Global Scholarships approach and the recipient stories suggest that learning from others can sharpen your strategy. Malak Najami specifically encouraged applicants to connect with previous scholars, saying that “their advice was invaluable.”
