The Brussels School of Governance may award Academic Excellence Scholarships to students who have outstanding academic records in secondary school and whose extra-curricular achievements show evidence of leadership in today’s global society. Other factors include one letter of recommendation from their secondary school and, in certain cases, standardised test scores.
The School’s merit-based scholarship system can provide up to 50% reduction in tuition per semester. These scholarships will be renewed if the student maintains superior academic performance during each semester of his/her 3-year Bachelor programme. The scholarship will be directly applied to the student’s tuition fees.
The deadline to apply for the scholarships is 1 March for Fall entry and 1 October for Spring entry.
Eligibility
- Prospective students must possess outstanding academic records and personal integrity, as demonstrated by grades, extra-curricular activities, standardised test scores (such as TOEFL, SAT) and one letter of recommendation.
- Prospective students must have been accepted into a Brussels School of Governance Bachelor Programme as a full-time, first-year/freshman student and must submit a separate application form for the Academic Excellence Scholarship (click the link above for the Application form).
- Transfer students are not eligible for the Academic Excellence Scholarship.
- The Academic Excellence scholarship can be awarded to students who enrol in the Fall semester (August) and in the Spring semester (January).
- There is a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) required to obtain a scholarship. We will also take motivation and extra-curricular activities into consideration. Evidently, better scores and grades, combined with strong motivation and participation in extra-curricular activities will improve one’s chances of acquiring a scholarship.
- There are no limitations with regards to citizenship & residency. All applicants will be treated fairly and equally.
- The scholarships may be renewed for all three years of the undergraduate programme. For renewal, a minimum GPA of 3.4/4.0 per semester must be maintained to continue to receive the scholarship.
- Students who have been awarded an AES award must confirm their award by submitting a non-refundable AES confirmation fee of 500€ no later than 31 March for the Fall semester and no later than 30 October for the Spring semester. Important: students must also confirm their acceptance to the College by submitting the non-refundable pre-registration fee of 1000€ by the AES award confirmation deadlines.
- Note: the application fee, the pre-registration fee and the scholarship confirmation fee will be deducted from tuition.
