Application deadlines for new students!

The iSTEPup Foundation works with two deadlines per year to apply yourself or a student for the iSTEPup programme:

  • Studies/Semesters starting in August-January: apply before May 16th
  • Studies/Semesters starting in February-July: apply before November 16th

Note: iSTEPup only considers complete applications. After your application, you will receive a confirmation message and/or additional questions by email (within 6 weeks). Complete applications will be discussed in the board meeting after the deadline and will be assessed for eligibility for the iSTEPup programme.
If too many students apply for a scholarship the Foundation will strive for an equal representation of gender, country and study among the selected applications.

Please take into account that there is a waiting period before a final decision is taken and/ or a payment to the university can be done. It is not possible to receive a payment for a study / semester that has already been completed or started.
