ARES Master's Scholarships for International Students
The Belgian government, through the Development Cooperation Agency (ARES), offers master's and continuing education scholarships to international students from developing countries. These scholarships aim to support the development of specialised skills and knowledge to contribute to the socio-economic progress of the scholars' countries of origin.
ARES scholarships cover tuition fees, accommodation, health insurance and a monthly allowance for living expenses. Applicants must have a relevant bachelor's degree and demonstrate academic excellence. In addition, they must be committed to returning to their home country upon completion of their studies to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired.
The application process is competitive and candidates are selected on the basis of academic merit, relevance of the study programme to the development of the country of origin and leadership potential. Applications are opened annually and deadlines vary depending on the country of origin.
ARES scholarships offer a unique opportunity for international students to obtain a high-quality education in Belgium, a country known for its academic excellence and innovative research. Scholars have access to world-renowned universities and a multicultural learning environment.
In addition to financial support, ARES scholarships also provide guidance and support to scholars during their studies. Scholars are integrated into a network of alumni and have access to professional development and networking opportunities.
By investing in the education of international students, the Belgian government contributes to the sustainable development and prosperity of developing countries. The ARES scholarships are a testament to Belgium's commitment to promoting international co-operation and education as a driver for change.
