International scholarships — Higher education: practical guide

Quick answer. MaBourse is the higher-education ministry portal that publishes international cooperation scholarships, calls for applications, notices and results. There is no single generic “international scholarship” procedure: every programme has its own destination, eligibility rules, documents and deadline.

What this service actually covers

Offers may concern bachelor, master, doctoral or research programmes and can be limited to specific profiles. Benefits may also differ, including tuition support, stipends, travel, accommodation or insurance. In September 2026 the portal still displayed 2026–2027 programmes with different deadlines as well as 2027–2028 calls, illustrating why the date on each individual notice must be checked.

Recommended path

Filter programmes by the study cycle, open the complete announcement and annexes, note the exact deadline and time reference, verify the submission channel, and prepare only the documents explicitly requested. Some applications go through MaBourse while others are sent directly to an embassy, university or foreign partner. After submission, keep the application reference and monitor the notices and results section.

Important distinction

A Moroccan pre-selection does not always mean final award. Depending on the programme, the foreign partner may still require university admission, an additional validation stage or a visa procedure. Results may be published as main lists, waiting lists or later updates rather than as a single personal email.

Before you submit

Do not pay for legalization or translation of documents before checking the exact call. If you are placed on a waiting list, monitor updates until the process closes and respect any short confirmation deadline. Use the official service screen as the final reference for fields, documents, status messages, fees and deadlines because interfaces and operational details can evolve.
