Millennium BCP Foundation Award - for the best 1st year student of the Master and Doctoral Programs in Cultural Studies

Benefit

For your first year on the Master’s programme in Cultural Studies at the Catholic University of Portugal (Universidade Católica Portuguesa) in Lisbon, you will receive a reduction on your tuition fees. Each year, up to 2 scholarships are awarded to the best new Portuguese students on the programme. In recent years, the grant has covered part of the tuition fees for the first two semesters. The exact amount is reviewed each year, so it may vary from one cohort to the next. The Master’s programme is taught in English and comprises 12 months of study. The scholarship is funded by the Fundação Millennium BCP, a partner of the Lisbon Consortium, the network that links the programme with Lisbon’s leading cultural institutions.
