IHE Delft — the Netherlands-based institute known for water, environment and development studies — has announced scholarship opportunities for applicants from the Sahel, the Middle East and the Horn of Africa for intake in 2026, according to an Opportunity Desk notice. The call is aimed at professionals and recent graduates seeking master's level training in areas such as water resources, sanitation, environmental management, climate adaptation and related development fields. For many Jordanian students and early-career professionals, these awards offer a practical route to international graduate training that is regionally targeted.
What this means for students in Jordan: scholarships specifically focused on the Sahel, Middle East and Horn of Africa increase the chances that applicants from Jordan will be prioritised relative to general international scholarships. The programmes taught at IHE Delft are technical and professionally oriented, so applicants with work experience in water utilities, NGOs, public sector planning, or environmental consultancies — as well as strong academic records — are more competitive. Students planning careers in water security, climate resilience, and urban services should view this as a strategic opportunity.
Practical steps and documentation: applicants should read the official IHE Delft scholarship page and the Opportunity Desk listing for exact eligibility and deadlines, then act quickly. Typical requirements include a bachelor’s transcript, CV, motivation letter describing professional impact, and at least one academic or professional reference. Start preparing at least 6–8 weeks before the listed deadline: request transcripts early, draft a clear motivation letter linking study to career plans, and obtain employer or referee letters in advance. If you need to authenticate Jordanian academic records for a foreign application, Shatnawi provides document equivalency services (70 JOD) and can advise on translation and notarisation requirements.
If you are not eligible or miss the deadline, consider parallel options: apply for competitive scholarships listed by global platforms or evaluate high-quality regional alternatives. For students preferring to study closer to home, Shatnawi helps with local admissions and partner discounts — for example, students applying through Shatnawi receive a 10% registration discount at Applied Science Private University (ASU), 20% at the University of Jordan (UJ) and 25% at Jordan University of Science & Technology (JUST). Our scholarship-matching and application support services can help you compare offers and prepare stronger dossiers.
