Selection procedure
Eligibility check

Application files that do not comply with all eligibility criteria or
submission requirements, will not be considered for selection.
Selection Committee

The Council for Development Cooperation (COS or Commissie
Ontwikkelingssamenwerking) makes a selection of the applications based
in part on the recommendations obtained from a working group of this
Council.

The Council then proceeds to formulate well-founded recommendations to
the Executive Committee of Ghent University.
Selection criteria

The recommendations are based on:

The qualifications of the applicant for the master grant (this
also implies that the chances of overly qualified candidates might
increase).
Students who successfully follow the first year of a Master Grant
programme at Ghent University may have a higher chance of selection.
There is no strict age limit, altough applicants below 40 years
are preferred.
The significance of the master's programme for the student's country.
Validation of the knowledge in the student's country.
The student's nationality (see nationality).
The motivation of the applicant.
IMPORTANT selection criterium: Proof of relation with UGent:
Demonstrate that the university of your studies, your current or
future employer has a relation with Ghent University (former or
current). For example: staff exchange, research projects,
publications, etc.

For Ghent University it's important that for this type of grants, the
student will return to his/her home country upon their study and add
to the UGent international network in developing countries. Therefore
as a prerequisite we ask that you can demonstrate that the university
of your studies, your current or your future employer already has a
former or current relation with UGent. It's an asset if this is in the
field of your study, but if there's already collaboration in another
field, that's also good.

In view of the extremely high number of Master Grant applications we
normally receive, your application will not be eligible if there's no
relation at all. It's up to the applicant to add documents or letters
that support this institutional link.
