No, the Chalmers IPOET Scholarship is a partial scholarship that exclusively provides a reduction in tuition fees, covering 75% for the first year and potentially 85% for the second year. It does not cover living expenses, accommodation, travel, or any other costs associated with your studies in Sweden. Students are responsible for their living costs.

Chalmers places a strong emphasis on relative academic excellence. Key factors for selection include your weighted average grade (with a minimum of 80% often cited as a requirement), the reputation and global ranking of your home university, and the priority you give to Chalmers Master's programs in your application. Ranking Chalmers as your first choice can significantly enhance your scholarship prospects.
