 Benefits

  • The Leiden University Excellence Scholarship program has three awards:
    • € 10.000 of the tuition fee
    • € 15.000 of the tuition fee
    • Total tuition fee minus the statutory tuition fee
  • The number and type of award of the scholarship depend on the budget available for each Faculty department. The type of award has no reflection on the students’ academic level of excellence.
  • Please be aware that the LExS is not a full scholarship.

 Eligibilities

  • In his or her prior academic education abroad, the applicant must have achieved excellent study results which are relevant for the programme for which the student wishes to enrol. As an indication, the student will be among the top 10% for the relevant programme followed abroad. We do not need proof of this, it is just to indicate the competitiveness of the scholarship
  • Scholarships will not be awarded to applicants who have already obtained a Leiden University master’s degree with the exception of students applying for a Master programme for which a specified previous Master programme or work experience is mandatory (the LLM advanced masters qualify as such)
  • Students who are granted a LExS must comply with and confirm in writing their agreement with the Rules and Regulations attached to the scholarship prior to the granting of the scholarship
