Description
The Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and the Ministry of Higher Education and Research are funding a talent support programme. The Guillaume Dupaix International Master’s Scholarship aims to attract high-achieving international students who wish to follow a master’s programme at the University of Luxembourg.
Benefits
The stipend amounts to around €10,000 per academic year for up to two years.
One part of the scholarship covers student accommodation and the remaining part is an amount paid in installments. For regular students, the remaining amount is paid at the beginning of each semester for a maximum of two years. For exchange students, this is at the beginning and end of the exchange semester.
The scholarship is subject to performance evaluation and may be withdrawn, for example in the event of academic misconduct, poor academic performance or withdrawal from the Master’s programme.
The scholarship cannot be cumulated with any other type of grant financed by the Luxembourg government, or a similar scholarship funded by a private sponsor in Luxembourg.
Part of the scholarship is used to fund the student’s accommodation in a university residence for the duration of the Master programme, up to a maximum of €650/month for a maximum of two years.
Eligibility

- Only available for Master programmes that run their two-year programme in Luxembourg. Master programmes that have a mandatory semester or year abroad are not eligible.
- Excellent academic performance during undergraduate studies
