What this list does not tell you
- 7 of the 7 awards below have no single published closing date — most run on an annual cycle whose exact date the funder confirms each year. Always check the provider's own page before you plan around a deadline.
- Nationality eligibility is recorded for 1 of 7 awards. Where we show no restriction it means we could not verify one, not that none exists.
- Funding in Lithuania changes with government budgets and university intake targets. Programs get suspended between cycles, and a fully funded award one year can become partial the next.
