Note: it can take up to 3 working days to create/submit an application for admission, so start your application well before the LExS deadline.

Note: if you cannot see the LExS in your scholarships section, you have either not yet submitted your application for admission, missed the deadline or are not eligible for the LExS.

    BENEFIT:

    The LExS is awarded for the duration of the study programme. There are five available levels of awards:

    € 10,000 of the tuition fee

Always keep in mind that a significant personal contribution will be required. Non-EEA LExS recipients must still submit ‘proof of sufficient funds’ for their student visa/residence permit application.
