Each year, two scholarships are available for each research master’s program. It’s important to note that if you apply for multiple scholarships, a separate application is required for each.

Benefits

Successful applicants will receive €15,000 to cover living expenses and a waiver of the non-EEA institutional fee (however, the statutory tuition fee must still be paid by the student). The grant will be distributed in monthly installments, with €2,350 for the first month and €1,150 for subsequent months. The scholarship is awarded for one year and can be renewed for a second year upon successful completion of the first.
