Vlerick Business School - Masters Scholarships and Grants

Vlerick Business School Masters Scholarships and Grants

You will receive a discount of up to 50% of the tuition fee towards a one-year full-time Master’s programme at Vlerick Business School in Belgium. The ‘Financial Management’ Master’s programme in Brussels, for example, lasts 10 months (September to June). The tuition fees for this programme amount to 23,500 EUR, meaning that a half scholarship is worth approximately 11,750 EUR. Each year, a number of students receive a full scholarship covering the entire tuition fees, which is funded by alumni and corporate donors. There are six types of scholarship, and you can receive more than one at the same time. The amount is deducted directly from the fees due. It is not paid out to you.
