VLIR-UOS Scholarships, Belgium

The international study opportunities include the VLIR funded
International Courses (ICPs) and the International Training Programmes
(ITPs).

Every year, with the support of the Belgian
Directorate-General for Development Cooperation (DGDC), VLIR awards
scholarships to students from developing countries to study one of the
15 ICPs or one of the 6 ITPs.

Each year there are a maximum of
180 scholarships available for first-year ICP students and a maximum of
70 scholarships for ITP participants.

Although these programmes
primarily address students and professionals from developing countries,
they are also open to other people.

For
more information, please refer to the more comprehensive VLIR
publication ‘International Study Opportunities in Flanders, Belgium’,
available at the Belgian Embassies, at selected universities in Africa,
Asia and Latin America and downloadable from the VLIR website.
It contains details on course contents and application requirements,
and explains the VLIR scholarship programme and the application
procedure.

The application form can be found in the publication
‘International Study Opportunities in Flanders, Belgium’. It can also
be obtained directly from the respective university or downloaded from
the VLIR website.

The application form should be returned to VLIR no later than 1 February 2008.

We
sincerely hope that the exchange during your study in Flanders results
in partnerships and improved understanding across frontiers, and that
the knowledge you acquire will be invested and disseminated in the
framework of long-term initiatives in your country of origin.
