Application and selection procedure


Applicants applying for a VLIR-UOS scholarship need to consider both the admission requirements and the scholarship criteria.

First, fhe host university is in charge of the academic admission of applications. Study results will be taken into consideration during the selection, but the most important academic selection criteria are relevant professional experience and prospects for applying the acquired insights after return to the developing country. The academic admission requirements are specific to every programme. Please peruse the requirements from the relevant programme.

For most, a joint selection committee of VLIR-UOS and the host university is responsible for selecting scholarships. The host university – not the applicant – forwards the scholarship applications to the VLIR-UOS secretariat if the academic admission requirements are met. The VLIR-UOS scholarship criteria relate to the qualifications required of all scholarship applicants and selection criteria evaluated by the selection committee. Download the VLIR-UOS scholarship criteria at the bottom of this page.
All applicants receive an acknowledgement of receipt of their applications. Applicants whose proposals are deemed academically admissible and who are awarded a scholarship for the academic year 2011-2012 will be contacted by VLIR-UOS and the host university by e-mail in May and June 2011. Applicants whose proposals are deemed academically admissible will be notified by the host university.



This is how you apply for the academic year 2011-2012



You can apply for a VLIR-UOS scholarship from the 1st of October 2010.

You must fill in the pre-screening form at the bottom of the page of the programme you want to follow. You may only choose one programme. If you apply to more than one programme your details will be entered more than once in our central database and all your applications will be inadmissible.

1.
Apply on the VLIR-UOS website via the pre-screening form: you must fill in all fields;
2.
Receive a VLIR-UOS application/file number by return e-mail from VLIR-UOS (within maximum two weeks);

4.
Write the received VLIR-UOS application/file number on the application file from the host university;
5.

Applications that are incomplete, illegible or that reach the host university’s International Office after the deadline will be automatically rejected.
