Application tips
- Only one scholarship category is allowed and each category has a fixed budget per cohort — apply early and pick the category where your profile is strongest, not the largest percentage.
- The Outstanding Candidate scholarship (up to 12%) replaces any previously awarded scholarship and is decided five days before the programme starts — do not count on it in advance.
- Self-financing is a condition: if an employer later pays any part of the tuition, the scholarship entitlement ends and the full amount must be repaid.
- The 25% maximum total discount caps Early Bird plus scholarship combinations — calculate the real total before accepting.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
