PROGRAMMES YOU CAN APPLY FOR WITH THE SCIENCE@LEUVEN SCHOLARSHIP

For the following masters you can apply for the Scholarship:

• Master of Astronomy and Astrophysics

(Only students applying for the specialization Geodynamics and Georesources or Surface processes and Paleoenvironments can apply for the scholarship.  Students applying for the other specializations (enrollment at Ghent University) will not be considered for the scholarship.)

• Master of Mathematics

Students applying for the QASS-programme of the Master of Statistics are excluded from the Science@Leuven Scholarship since this program requires a master's diploma.

AMOUNT OF SCHOLARSHIP

The amount of the scholarship can be up to 10.000 Euro for 1 year. The Board of the Science@Leuven Fund will decide exactly how much a scholarship will be. The scholarship will always cover the tuition fee for 1 year, the insurance, and basic health insurance coverage. The amount awarded for living expenses can vary. 

If a student is awarded a full scholarship of 10.000 euros, it is still advisable to bring some extra money.  Here you can find an overview of living costs in Belgium. 

Most master programs of the Faculty of Science are two-year programs. The scholarship for the second master's year will only be continued on the condition that the student had outstanding results the first master's year.
