DSF Scholarships

When you apply to study at DSF, your application is evaluated by the Admissions Board for admission, but it is also simultaneously evaluated for a merit-based DSF Scholarship. As in the admissions evaluation, your prior educational results, test scores, knowledge, skills, attitude and ambition, are also considered in the evaluation for a DSF Scholarship.

Several DSF Scholarships are available and the amounts will vary from candidate to candidate, based on your evaluation results. Awarded scholarships will have a value of up to 90% of the tuition costs and are granted in the form of a tuition waiver. These scholarships can only be applied to the year of study in which the scholarship is awarded.

If you are selected for such a DSF merit scholarship, you will be asked to perform student assistant tasks (tallying a maximum 20 days). Student assistant projects will be posted throughout the year on our e-learning platform. You may apply for the project that appeals to you most.

Please note that, regardless of whether you are awarded a scholarship, if you wish to study at DSF, you must pay a €2,000 deposit by the time of registration to reserve your seat in the programme.
