The ICP Connect Scholarship 2026 offers fully funded master's opportunities for international students at Flemish Universities in Belgium. This program is designed for applicants from eligible countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America who are committed to tackling global challenges such as sustainability, agriculture, climate change, and health. Supported by VLIR-UOS, the scholarship provides access to elite master's programs taught in English, fostering diversity and inclusion by encouraging applications from underrepresented groups, including women and first-time international students.

Financial support includes full tuition coverage, a monthly stipend, travel expenses, comprehensive health insurance, and living expenses (board and lodging), allowing students to focus on their studies and contribute to long-lasting change in their communities. The program aims to develop scholars with advanced knowledge and skills to promote sustainable futures and creative solutions for their home countries.

Eligibility requires applicants to be residents and citizens of qualifying nations, hold a relevant undergraduate degree, and meet the academic and language requirements of the chosen master's program. Preference is given to those in higher education, government, or civic society, but highly motivated individuals from other backgrounds are also considered. Applicants must not have previously received a Belgian government scholarship or attended a Belgian institution, and must be under 45 years old for advanced master's or under 35 for initial master's programs. English proficiency is mandatory, and graduates are expected to return home to support their country's development.

To apply, candidates should select a master's program at a Flemish university, prepare all required documents (transcripts, degree certificates, passport, CV, recommendation and motivation letters, proof of English proficiency), and submit an online application via the university's portal before the program-specific deadline. The selection process is based on program fit and academic merit.
