Université de Liège - Duesberg Baily Thil Lorrain Scholarships

Benefit

You will receive a scholarship of one academic year studying abroad, which you can use to study for a PhD or a specialised Master’s degree at a university of your choice outside Belgium. There is no fixed amount: the sum varies from year to year, as it depends on the Foundation’s investment returns. The money is paid in two equal instalments, the first approximately one month before your departure and the second five months later. You may combine this scholarship with other funding, for example from your host university abroad or another foundation. The Université de Liège administers the scholarship and awards one scholarship per academic year. It cannot be renewed. The aim is to help young people from the Verviers region to broaden their horizons by studying abroad.
