ICP Connect VLIR-UOS Scholarship

The ICP Connect VLIR-UOS Scholarship is a prestigious funding opportunity for international students from developing countries to pursue master’s programs in development-related fields at Belgian universities. This scholarship program, funded by the Belgian government through VLIR-UOS (Flemish Interuniversity Council-University Development Cooperation), supports International Course Programmes (ICPs) that focus on sustainable development, global challenges, and capacity building. The scholarship covers tuition fees, travel costs, insurance, and provides a substantial living allowance for the duration of the program. Eligible candidates typically hold a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, demonstrate academic excellence, and show commitment to contributing to development in their home countries. The application process involves admission to a participating ICP program followed by a competitive scholarship selection. Successful scholars join a network of development professionals and gain access to high-quality education at Flemish universities. The program emphasizes North-South cooperation and aims to build expertise that addresses global development challenges through education, research, and practical engagement.
