  • Financial support

    For general information about international scholarships, please check http://www.studyinflanders.be/en/scholarship-programmes/ and https://www.studentsonthemove.be/en/.

    In order to receive a scholarship from the Flemish Community, you must fulfill multiple conditions. If you are temporarily staying in Belgium because of your studies, national conditions will be an obstacle and you might not be eligible to request this scholarship. If you do not meet the requirements, you will have to fund your studies yourself and (if possible) apply for financial assistance and/or study aid in your home country. For more information about the scholarship of the Flemish Community, please check https://centenvoorstudenten.be/english/scholarship-flemish-community/.

    Students from outside the European Economic Area are not eligible for financial aid from the AP University College. It is not possible to pay the tuition fee in instalments.

    • combining your studies with caring for a minor child;
    • combining your studies with informal care;
    • combining your studies with work as a working student;
    • combining your studies with recognised elite sport;
    • combining your studies with professional artistic practice.

    The student counsellor (studentenbegeleiding@ap.be) will help you put together your application and guide you through the process from application to final processing.
