Applications are open for the Sudan-Norway Academic Cooperation (SNAC) PhD at Risk Scholarships 2026.

The PhD at Risk Scholarships aim to:
- Prevent permanent interruption of Sudanese PhD trajectories due to war and displacement
- Enable PhD candidates to continue or complete their research under constrained conditions
- Safeguard long‑term academic capacity for the future rebuilding of Sudanese universities
Scholarship
- Each scholarship may include a stipend of 10,000 Euros

- Be enrolled at, or formerly affiliated with, a Sudanese or international university;
