This systematic literature review maps an emerging subfield in educational research : international scholarships for students from the Global South. To untangle the multiple and sometimes competing rationales for scholarship programs, this study identified and reviewed 105 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters published from years 2010 to 2019. From the findings, six primary and distinguishable program rationales emerge: scholarships to develop skills development and human capital, to enhance diplomatic relations, to promote social change, to spur sustainable development, to internationalize universities, and to increase students’ access to higher education. In the analysis, complements and contradictions among the rationales are explored, thereby emphasizing the importance of clarifying programs’ goals and designs. The goal of this review is to highlight variances, opportunities, and omissions within the literature to inform scholars, administrators, and policymakers in the field of international higher education.

对全球南方学生国际高等教育奖学金的系统审查

这篇系统的文献综述描绘了教育研究中一个新兴的子领域：为来自全球南方的学生提供国际奖学金。为了理清奖学金计划的多重且有时是相互竞争的理由，本研究确定并审查了 2010 年至 2019 年发表的 105 篇同行评议文章和书籍章节。 从调查结果中，出现了六个主要和可区分的计划理由：奖学金用于发展技能发展和人力资本、加强外交关系、促进社会变革、促进可持续发展、大学国际化以及增加学生接受高等教育的机会。在分析中，探讨了基本原理之间的互补和矛盾，从而强调了阐明程序目标和设计的重要性。
