Master Mind Scholarship to study in Belgium

Outstanding students from all around the world are given scholarships by the Flemish Ministry of Education and Training to attend master’s programs in Flanders and Brussels. A Master Mind Scholarship comes with an annual award of €9 600 and waives tuition (60 ECTS). Only an administrative enrolling fee is charged to recipients of the Master Mind Scholarship. A sizable portion of their living expenditures, including rent, insurance, and other fees, are covered by the grant, which is disbursed in installments. You must first submit an application to a Flemish host institution that takes part in the Master Mind Scholarship Program if you are interested.

Scholarship Details

• A maximum scholarship of €9 600 may be given to each entering student per academic year, as per the information in the section on how to pay for scholarships.

• The final payment of €1 600 will not be given if a student completes a one-year Master’s program but does not graduate with a Master’s degree by the end of the academic year in 2024 (July or September).

To be eligible for the scholarship for the second academic year and to receive the final payment of €1 600 for a two-year Master’s program, at least 54 ECTS must be earned in the first academic year in 2024 (July or September). The section titled “Payment of the Scholarship” has more details.
