Scholarships for international students
Belgium's 14 listed scholarships are mostly Master's and PhD awards from a small set of funders: VLIR-UOS, KU Leuven, Ghent University, the Government of Flanders and the Belgian American Educational Foundation. Only 3 have deadlines still ahead. Most awards are full scholarships covering tuition, travel, insurance and a monthly allowance, and nearly all restrict who may apply by nationality or residence.
