Application procedure

Applying for a scholarship is a two-step process.

1. In a first stage, applicants must apply to a master's degree through the online admission portal on the following link: https://inscription.uni.lu/Inscriptions/Public/Admission
   During this process, applicants submit all documents required by the master’s programme (please consult the admission requirements indicated on the FDEF master’s programme webpage). Applicants then receive a notification to pay the 50€ admission fee, which is a prerequisite to apply to the scholarship.

   Once the admission fees are paid, applicants receive an e-mail notification confirming their application is successfully submitted. Please note that some applicants may be exempt from paying the 50€ admission fee. In this case, they still receive an email confirmation that their application is successfully submitted.  

   In all cases, this e-mail notification will be requested when applying to the scholarship, as described hereafter.

2. Once the application to the master’s degree is completed, outstanding applicants will be contacted with further instructions and receive the link to the online scholarship application form.

   By submitting the online scholarship application form together with the required documents (will be specified in instructional email), applicants will be considered for the scholarship.

3. After a careful review of the application documents, a selection committee will choose the scholarship recipients and the selected candidates will be informed by email of their results in due time.

Applicants are selected based on:

• Academic results
• The originality of the personal statement and the motivation of their application. 

Please note that due to the high volume of applications received, only selected applicants will be notified, at the latest by mid-June 2023.

Master Applications received by 20 April 2023 will be considered for the scholarship.

The selection of applicants for the scholarship is an ongoing process taking place during the admission period. Outstanding applicants may also be selected before the application deadline.
Selected applicants will sign a Scholarship Agreement, including a declaration of honour in acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Guillaume Dupaix International Master’s Scholarship.
