Amandus H. Lundqvist Scholarship Program

What does the ALSP scholarship entail?

Named in honor of the former TU/e President, the Amandus H. Lundqvist Scholarship Program (ALSP) awards scholarships to excellent students who have been admitted to a TU/e Master’s program.

We offer two types of scholarships:

Full scholarship (10 scholarships available):

The scholarship consists of a full tuition fee waiver (worth €19,300 for a non-EU student and €2,530 for a EU student) and a contribution to living expenses of €7,500 for each year of the two years of the Master's program (a total of €15,000 for the 2 year Master's program).

Partial scholarship (+/- 25 scholarships available):

A contribution to living expenses of €5,000 per year for a two year’s Master’s program for non-EU students (in total €10,000). If you are an EU student, the contribution to living expenses will be €2,500 per year for a two year’s Master’s program (in total €5.000).

Who can apply

All international students who do not have a Dutch nationality. 

How to apply

You automatically enter the selection procedure for ALSP if you submit a complete application for a TU/e Master’s program before the scholarship deadline of February 1 AND are subsequently admitted to a TU/e Master's program. 

You must also meet the Terms and Conditions of the ALSP scholarship. 

An application is complete when: 

  • You have submitted the online application including all required uploads. 
  • You receive an email from the International Office confirming that your application has been received and is considered complete. 

TIP! 
Don't wait too long to apply. We recommend that you submit your application before January 1 so that we can contact you if there are any issues with your application. You may then still have time to remedy this before the February 1 deadline.

Application

  • Submit a complete application to the TU/e Master's program of your choice.   
  • Only complete applications, including all application documents, that we receive before February 1 will be eligible to enter the selection procedure for the ALSP and Holland Scholarships (HS). 
  • One of the application documents you need to upload is a motivation letter. We ask you to tell us more about your career plans, as we take them into consideration for the ALSP selection procedure (see online application form for details).  
  • If you are admitted to a TU/e Master's program AND you have a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 80% or higher from an internationally renowned university, you will enter the selection procedure for the ALSP scholarship.

The selection process

  • Your application to a TU/e Master's program is also your application for an ALSP scholarship, unless you specify in your online application that you do not wish to be considered for a scholarship.   
  • Each TU/e Department nominates students who have performed the most interesting extracurricular activities to the TU/e scholarship selection committee. In case you are nominated, you will be notified by the international office.  
  • The applications with the highest grades from the most reputable universities and interesting career plans, are selected by the TU/e scholarship selection committee to complete an online questionnaire focusing on personality and social skills.  
  • Scholarships are awarded based on the quality of the previous education and the student's academic performance therein.
  • In the first week of May you will be notified about the outcome of the scholarship selection. 
  • A one-time scholarship offer will then be made to successful candidates. The offer is non-negotiable.
