Applications are open for the Chulabhorn Graduate Institute (CGI) Post-Graduate Scholarship Program 2027 in Thailand. The opportunity is open to international applicants seeking a Master’s degree, and the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has publicised the scholarship for eligible Pakistani students.
The official CGI application portal shows that applications opened on 15 May 2026 and will close on 31 August 2026. Interviews will be announced later, while results are expected around January 2027. This is a science-focused scholarship, so applicants should first check whether their degree, academic record and research background match the programme before spending time on the application.

Which Master’s programmes are available?
The official CGI portal lists three programme areas:
- Applied Biological Sciences: Environmental Health
- Chemical Sciences
- Environmental Toxicology
The scholarship is therefore aimed at applicants from relevant science, health, environmental, chemical and related academic backgrounds rather than applicants from every subject area.
Who can apply?
CGI requires international applicants to hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, have a strong academic record and demonstrate English proficiency. HEC’s scholarship guidance for Pakistani applicants adds more specific screening conditions, including age, academic performance and research background.
Pakistani applicants should check that they meet the following core conditions before applying:
- Be under 30 years of age under the HEC-announced eligibility criteria.
- Hold a relevant bachelor’s degree.
- Have a minimum CGPA of 2.75 out of 4.00 or equivalent under the HEC criteria.
- Have a background relevant to the selected CGI programme.
- Have experience in scientific laboratory research.
- Demonstrate English-language proficiency through an accepted method.
Which academic backgrounds are relevant?
HEC’s CGI guidance identifies science-related backgrounds including areas such as:
- Chemistry
- Biology / Biological Sciences
- Molecular Biology
- Environmental Sciences
- Medicine and Medical Technology
- Pharmacy / Pharmaceutical Sciences
- Closely related scientific disciplines relevant to the selected Master’s programme
Applicants with a degree that is only loosely related should carefully compare their academic background with the programme before applying.
English language requirement
The 2027 CGI application system accepts several types of English-proficiency evidence, including:
- TOEFL
- IELTS
- A university letter confirming English as the medium of instruction
- Another form of evidence accepted by the CGI application system
The current CGI student handbook also explains that English is the language of instruction at the institute. Applicants should therefore treat English proficiency as an academic requirement, not just a document to upload.
Is the scholarship fully funded?
HEC is publicising the 2027 opportunity as a fully funded Master’s scholarship. CGI’s institutional scholarship information explains that full financial support can include tuition, fees and stipends for eligible scholarship students. International students also have access to institute accommodation arrangements and health-insurance provisions under applicable CGI/TICA rules.
Applicants should read the award letter and final CGI scholarship terms carefully if selected because the exact package, allowances and conditions are determined by the scholarship provider.
Required documents for the 2027 online application
The official CGI application portal lists the following supporting documents:
- Passport-size photograph
- Academic transcript from undergraduate or higher-level study
- Medical certificate
- English-proficiency evidence
- Three recommendation letters
CGI states that the online form must be completed clearly and incomplete applications or supporting documents will not be considered.
What if recommendation letters are not ready?
The current CGI portal includes an important note: applicants who cannot attach recommendation letters at the initial submission stage may leave that section blank and continue. Applicants who pass the initial screening can be asked to submit recommendation letters later by email.
This should not be treated as a reason to delay arranging referees. Applicants should identify suitable academic or research referees early so the letters can be provided quickly if requested.
How to apply step by step
- Read the HEC Pakistan announcement.
- Confirm that your age, degree, CGPA, subject and research background meet the criteria.
- Select one of the eligible Master’s programme areas.
- Prepare your transcript, photograph, medical certificate and English-proficiency evidence.
- Arrange recommendation letters or identify referees.
- Open the official CGI 2027 scholarship portal.
- Complete every section of the online application clearly.
- Upload the required supporting documents.
- Review names, dates, academic information and contact details.
- Submit before 31 August 2026.
Does the application go through HEC or CGI?
For this 2027 opportunity, the scholarship is offered by CGI in Thailand and the current online application is available through CGI’s scholarship portal. HEC is publicising the opportunity for Pakistani students. Applicants should therefore follow the current HEC notice but submit according to the CGI instructions shown for the 2027 intake.
How should applicants prepare a stronger application?
Because the programme is science and research focused, the application should clearly show:
- How the applicant’s bachelor’s degree connects to the chosen CGI field.
- Any laboratory or research experience completed during university or employment.
- Academic performance in relevant science subjects.
- English-language readiness for Master’s-level study.
- A clear reason for choosing Environmental Health, Chemical Sciences or Environmental Toxicology.
Applicants should avoid generic statements and should make sure any research experience claimed in the application is accurate.
Application deadline and result timeline
The deadline is 31 August 2026. The CGI portal says interviews will be notified later and results are expected around January 2027.
Students should not wait until the final day because medical documents, transcripts and language evidence can take time to arrange.
