How to apply

If you meet the terms and conditions (see below), you automatically enter the selection procedure for the ALSP and NL Scholarship (tue.nl).  Your application to a ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Master's program is also your application for an ALSP scholarship. You cannot apply directly to the ALSP scholarship. You must first apply for a ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Master's program.

A complete application for a ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Master’s program before the scholarship deadline of February 1 AND a subsequently admission to a ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Master's program is required. 

An application is complete when: 

  • You have submitted the online application including all required uploads. 
  • You receive an email from the International Office confirming that your application has been received and is considered complete. 

TIP!ʉ۬Don't wait too long to apply. We recommend that you submit your application before January 1 so that we can contact you if there are any issues with your application. You may then still have time to remedy this before the February 1 deadline.

The selection process

  • One of the application documents you need to upload is a motivation letter. We ask you to tell us more about your career plans, as we take them into consideration for the ALSP selection procedure (see online application form for details).  
  • If you are admitted to a ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Master's program AND you have a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 80% or higher from an internationally renowned university, you will enter the selection procedure for the ALSP scholarship.   
  • Each ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Department nominates students who have performed the most interesting extracurricular activities, to the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ scholarship selection committee. In case you are nominated, you will be notified by the international office.  
  • The applications with the highest grades from the most reputable universities and interesting career plans, are selected by the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ scholarship selection committee to complete an online questionnaire focusing on personality and social skills.  
  • Scholarships are awarded based on the quality of the previous education and the student's academic performance therein.
  • In the first week of May you will be notified about the outcome of the scholarship selection. 
  • A one-time scholarship offer will then be made to successful candidates. The offer is non-negotiable and applies only for the academic year for which the application is submitted. A nomination or a scholarship offer cannot be deferred to another academic year.
