How to Apply

Once applicants have made a complete application to a degree program or free-standing courses of at least 30 ECTS credits and paid the application fee, they will be able to apply for the scholarship.
- Supporting Documents: As part of this online application, applicants must upload their scholarship ‘motivation letter’ (maximum 600 words) to the scholarship application portal.
