Frequently asked questions
- Which international scholarships accept Duolingo in 2026?
- Scholarships tied to US graduate programmes, Canadian universities, and some European programmes now accept Duolingo. DAAD-linked host universities and Türkiye Bursları partner institutions are among those ScholarPal has confirmed.
- Is a Duolingo score of 105 enough for scholarship applications?
- A score of 105 meets minimum thresholds for many programmes, but highly competitive scholarships typically expect 120 or above. Check the specific score requirement on each scholarship detail page.
- Can Palestinian students use Duolingo for scholarship applications?
- Yes. Palestinian students can take the Duolingo test from home without travel. It is particularly useful for applicants in Gaza or the West Bank where test-centre access for IELTS is limited.
- Does Duolingo accepted mean IELTS is not required?
- For initial applications, yes. Some programmes may still ask for IELTS or TOEFL before finalising admission. Always verify the enrolment requirements separately from the application requirements.
