-Research scholarship - this is a research program in French Literature
-One academic year, M.A/Research/PH.D/Post.Doc - these are scholarships granted for specialization programs in the humanities, sciences, arts, European studies, etc.
Types of Scholarships:

Candidates should note that:
-Travel expenses (plane tickets) are paid by the student.
-Tuition fees for certain special programs offered by Belgian universities (principally in English) are higher than the standard university fees. In such cases, the grant does not exceed the standard university fees, and the student will have to pay the difference. Since this difference may be significant, candidates are advised to clarify the matter with the university they want to register to. When in doubt, it is preferable to contact the Embassy before registering.
