Graduate Scholarship - How does it work?

The applications for postgraduate scholarships for candidates from developing countries must be submitted on specific application forms.

The Council for Development Cooperation (COS: "Commissie voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking") makes a selection of the applications based in part on the recommendations obtained from a working group of this Council and proceeds to formulate well-founded recommendations to the Executive Committee of the university.

The recommendation is based on:

the qualifications of the applicant

the relevance of the postgraduate study to the student’s country of origin

the validation of the knowledge in the student’s country of origin

the motivation of the applicant

the student’s nationality. In the event of equal rankings on

the basis of the quality of the file, priority will be given to the categories on the DAC List of Aid Recipients with the lowest level of development and income.
