Deadlines for application for scholarships
If you wish to apply for a scholarship, please keep in mind the deadlines for application to a programme.
Students who are applying for a scholarship and therefore need early notification of admission, are advised to apply at least 3 months before the desired date of notification, and before applying for the scholarship itself. Please indicate with your application the date by which you need to receive notification. Timely handling will be aimed for, but cannot be guaranteed.
