How do I apply for the MASTER IN - WBI grants?

Find out how to apply for MASTER IN - WBI grants

STEP 1 Verify whether the higher education institution of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation of your choice participates in the MASTER IN – WBI grant programme. The grant may only be applied to a defined selection of study programmes as determined by certain institutions. Higher education institutions reserve the right not to process or respond to applications that are unrelated to the MASTER IN 2026–2027 call.

STEP 2 Submit an admission request to the targeted higher education institution, according to the procedures specific to that institution. Your admission request for a master’s program at a university will receive a reference number to be included on the form. In other cases (university colleges, schools of arts), no number must be indicated.

STEP 3 Send your application form and the four annexes to the targeted institution. If it is a university, indicate the reference number of your admission file.

STEP 4 The host institution pre-selects the eligible applications.

STEP 5 Its ranking is transmitted to Wallonia-Brussels International, which makes the final selection based on defined criteria, no later than April 20, 2026.

STEP 6 Results are communicated by Wallonia-Brussels International to the targeted higher education institution no later than May 15, 2026.

STEP 7 The candidate is informed of the outcome of their application by the targeted higher education institution.

All stays must begin in the calendar year of the selection. No postponements will be possible.

If the student is not awarded the grant and therefore decides not to pursue his/her application for admission to the host institution, the application fees incurred will not be reimbursed.
