Financial support

Financial support for students from outside Europe

Grants to sponsor students with limited means outside of Europe.

Call for candidatures 

Saint-Louis campus has many partners outside EU countries where more and more Saint-Louis students spend a semester every year. However, some of those partners are not able to send as many students to Saint-Louis campus. To keep the agreement meaningful for both sides and keep a balance in the student's exchanges, Saint-Louis campus launches 6 grants of 750 euros (for the entire duration of the mobillity) to help financing an exchange stay in Brussels.

This grant is offered to students with limited means and enrolled at a partner university located in a country that is not considered "high income" by the World Bank.

This grant cannot be added to an Erasmus + grant offered by the European Commission.

A maximum of two grants will be attributed to the same partner.

Applications should include:

  • Letter of motivation
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Your last transcript of records in French or translated into English
  • A recommendation letter from your home coordinator
  • Saint-Louis Application form

And should be sent to incoming-slb@uclouvain.be

Applications are accepted twice a year: on November 1 and on June 1 and will be reviewed by the International Office. Notifications will be sent to the applicant within 4 weeks.

Grants for European students

In France, financial aid for students is managed by the CNOUS and CROUS networks. Grants are awarded mainly on the basis of social criteria, depending on family resources.

In addition, at the initiative of the European Commission, a platform listing all the scholarships available at the European level has been created.

More than 12,000 funding opportunities in 16 countries have been listed, of which approximately 250 are specifically intended for students pursuing a course of study in Belgium.
