Borealis Social Scholarship at Webster Vienna

You will receive a scholarship that covers almost all of your tuition fees at Webster Vienna Private University in Austria. It can be renewed for up to four years, i.e. for the entire duration of a Bachelor’s degree programme. This is a means-tested scholarship for new Bachelor’s students, meaning it is aimed at students who are unable to afford the tuition fees themselves. It is funded by Borealis, a chemicals and polyolefins company. Only one student per academic year receives this scholarship.

Who can apply

How to apply

First, apply for admission to a standard Bachelor’s degree programme at Webster Vienna. Once you have been admitted, request the online scholarship application form from the Admissions Office. The deadline is 31 May for the autumn intake and 30 November for the spring intake.

How realistic are your chances?

Only one student receives this award each year. Applicants must have a high grade point average and demonstrate financial need, which means the pool of eligible candidates remains small. Nevertheless, the fact that there is only one place available ensures fierce competition. If you clearly meet the requirements regarding grades and financial need, apply as soon as the application period opens.
