Detailed conditions can be found on the Centen voor Studenten website. Eligible students can make an appointment with the social service for financial support. For inquiries, contact stuvo@vives.be

3. External Scholarships:

While VIVES does not offer its own scholarships to international students, external funding opportunities are available:

• GlobalScholarships.com $1,000 Scholarship:
  • Eligibility:
    • International students enrolled in a postsecondary degree program in Fall 2024.

4. Blocked Bank Account Procedure:

For non-EEA students, VIVES recommends the blocked bank account procedure to demonstrate sufficient means of subsistence, a requirement for obtaining a student visa. This involves depositing a sum covering living expenses into a frozen account managed by the institution. Detailed information is available on VIVES's application procedure page.
