How
does it work?
does it work?
The
scholarship takes the form of a waiver being the amount of money that will be
subtracted from the full non-EEA tuition fee. The waiver fully covers the
difference between the non-EEA tuition fee and the EEA tuition fee. You will
always have to pay at least the statutory tuition fee. For the
scholarship, no actual transmission of money takes place. The scholarship part
of the non-EEA tuition fee will be subtracted from the full non-EEA tuition fee
before the start of the academic year, enabling you to immediately pay the
reduced tuition fee; either at once or in instalments.
