• Prospective students must possess outstanding academic records and personal integrity, as demonstrated by grades, extra-curricular activities, standardised test scores (such as TOEFL, SATs) and letters of recommendation.
• Prospective students must have been accepted into a Vesalius College Bachelor Programme as a full-time, first-year/freshman student.
• Transfer students are not eligible for the Vesalius Academic Excellence Scholarship.
• The Academic Excellence scholarship can only be awarded to students who enrol in the fall semester.
• There is a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) required to obtain a scholarship. Vesalius College will also take motivation and extra-curricular activities into consideration. Evidently, better scores and grades, combined with strong motivation and participation in extra-curricular activities will improve one’s chances of acquiring a scholarship.
• Citizenship & residency: there are no limitations with regards to citizenship & residency. All applicants will be treated fairly and equally.

The College’s merit-based financial assistance can provide up to a 50 % reduction in tuition per semester. These scholarships will be renewed if the student maintains superior academic performance during each semester of their 3-year Bachelor programme. The scholarship will be directly applied to the student’s tuition fees.
