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. The decision on your application will be shared before the end of June/November. 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, or study debts in general.
