VLIR-UOS scholarships

Thanks to the support from VLIR-UOS, the Flemish Interuniversity Council, students from 31 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin-America can apply for a full scholarship to follow a Master's programme at a Flemish university or university college in Belgium. We can thus provide 10 full scholarships that cover all expenses related to the Master of Epidemiology.

The VLIR-UOS scholarship includes of an air ticket, visa costs (subject to approval) and a monthly allowance to cover living expenses, accommodation, the course fee and insurance. 

You have to apply for admission to the programme and for the scholarship at the same time. 

• Complete the VLIR-UOS scholarship form (download PDF below). 
• Scan the completed form. 
• Upload the form in Mobility Online together with all other documents required for your admission application.

The Academic Selection Committee will pre-select 20 candidates who fit all scholarship and selection criteria and who demonstrate the highest academic preparedness/potential necessary to succeed in the Master’s programme.

Applicants will be informed of the result of the deliberation via email. In total 10 applicants will be nominated for the scholarship (A-list) and 10 will be nominated for the waiting list (B-list).

This will then be submitted to VLIR-UOS by April for further screening and approval. Applicants who are awarded the scholarship funding or who are selected for the waiting list will be contacted by VLIR-UOS by the end of May.
