Selection Criteria for VLIR-UOS ICP Connect Scholarship

Scholars are seen as potential change agents in the ICP Connect paradigm, with the ability to contribute to social change in their home nation (or area) after finishing their studies.

Scholars are chosen via an impartial review of their scholarship applications that considers the following factors:

Motivation

Candidates’ motivation and professional objectives must show their ability to transmit knowledge/skills or set up extension initiatives, as well as emphasize sustainable development and study program-related issues. Academic performance is crucial, but so is the capacity and dedication of the students to become “agents of change” when they finish their studies.

Professional experience

Candidates with a better probability of applying and/or transmitting newly acquired knowledge/skills in a sustainable development environment, such as higher education, government, civil society, or the corporate sector, will be given preference, therefore contributing to constructive social change.

Gender balance

The goal is to have a balance of male and female applicants receiving ICP Connect scholarships. Female applicants are particularly encouraged to apply to VLIR-UOS.

Regional balance

If there are enough suitable applicants, an appropriate cross-section of experts from various nations and areas would be sought.

Leave No One Behind (LNOB):

In the event that two applicants are equally qualified, individuals from vulnerable groups shall be given precedence.

Previously awarded scholarship:

Candidates who have never won a scholarship to study in a higher-income nation will be given priority (bachelor or master).
