Only students who are currently not enrolled at a Flemish higher education institution are eligible (exception: international students who are enrolled in a preparatory programme in order to start a master’s programme in September).

The student has to be accepted by UHasselt to be able to receive the scholarship. Even if the decision to accept the student is taken after the selection of the Master Mind Scholarships programme, this criterion applies.

Students who enroll for only a preparatory programme, a bridging programme or a distance learning programme are not eligible.

All nationalities (except for Russian) can apply, but the previous degree obtained should be from a higher education institution located outside Flanders.

Students can not combine this scholarship with another scholarship from the Flemish government or an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
