BAEF Graduate Study Fellowship for Americans

The Belgian American Educational Foundation (BAEF) Graduate Study Fellowship provides funding for American citizens and permanent residents to pursue graduate studies (Master's or PhD programs) in Belgium for one academic year. The fellowship is designed to foster friendship and educational exchange between Belgium and the United States through higher education opportunities. The fellowship provides a $30,000 stipend and health insurance for a 12-month period of residence in Belgium. Applicants must register in a graduate program at a Belgian university or higher institution and demonstrate outstanding academic achievement through their Bachelor's and Master's degree records. This is a non-renewable grant intended to support a full academic year of study starting in Fall 2026.
