Scholarships

Scholarships are mostly awarded for financing postgraduate courses. Besides a monthly living allowance, the scholarship also covers registration fees, travel expenses and insurances. Usually, the stay in Belgium lasts for 1 or 2 academic years.

Mixed doctorate scholarships are mainly awarded to doctorate/PhD students. This kind of scholarship covers a stay of 16 months in Belgium, which the scholarship student will use for his research (16 months to be divided in 4 stays over a duration of maximum four years). Besides a monthly living allowance (which will be paid only for the periods of stay in Belgium), the mixed doctorate scholarship also covers registration fees, travel expenses and insurances.

The Internship scholarships, with an average stay in Belgium of 1 to 6 months, are usually awarded to experts working in the cooperation field. Besides a daily living allowance, the scholarship also covers course fees, travel expenses and insurances.

Some countries do not have a quota for scholarships in Belgium. On the other hand, various countries have a quota for local or regional courses. Apply to the Attaché for Development Cooperation or to the Embassy of Belgium in the partner country for additional information.
