SCIENCE@LEUVEN Scholarship Application for 2020-2021 is open!

The Faculty of Science and its alumni association Science@Leuven are proud to announce the Science@Leuven Scholarships!

Application for 2020-2021 is open!

Motivated and talented international students interested in participating in an international master programme of the Faculty of Science of the KU Leuven are invited to apply for a scholarship.

For the following masters you can apply for the Scholarship :

• Master of Astronomy and Astrophysics
• Master of Biology
• Master of Biophysics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
• Master of Chemistry
• Master of Geography
• Interuniversity Master of Geology(only students applying for the specialisation Geodynamics and Georesources or Surface processes and Paleoenvironments can apply for the scholarship.  Students applying for the other specialisations (enrollment at Ghent University) will not be considered for the scholarship.)
• Master of Mathematics
• Master of Physics
• Master of Statistics
• Erasmus Mundus Master of Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling
• Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Sustainable and Territorial Development

Students applying for the two latter programmes can only qualify for the Scholarship when they register at the KU Leuven as main university.

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

Do not apply for the Scholarship if you are interested in another Master Programme.  Your application will not be considered. 

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 a basic health insurance coverage. The amount awarded for living expenses can vary. 

If a student is awarded the full scholarship of 10.000 Euro, it is still advisable to bring some extra money.  You can find an overview of costs to be expected here . 

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