one of these sectors. However, master candidates employed in the profit
sector or newly graduated candidates without any work experience can be
eligible for the scholarship as well, depending on their motivation and
profile.
Fungibility
with other VLIR-UOS funding: Candidates working in a university where we already fund
IUC, TEAM or SI projects, can receive an ITP-ICP scholarship if they clearly
motivate the reason of their application and clarify why the participation at
the ICP programme cannot be funded as part of the existing IUC, Team or SI
programme or project funds.

scholarship application to us per year - irrespective of the scholarship type -
and can therefore only be selected for one of our scholarships per year.

government to attend a
master programme or equivalent or was never enrolled in a Flemish higher
education institution to attend a master programme or equivalent before the
first of January of the intake year.
