Financial Aid
In order to attract outstanding individuals – no matter what their financial situation – CEU offers a wide range of Financial Aid packages to the majority of its students.
Both Master’s and doctoral students are eligible for financial aid. Most doctoral students are awarded with fee waivers and three-year stipends of 8,500 Euro/year. 15% of our Master’s students pay no fees and receive stipends of 5800 Euro/year; 51% pay no fees and receive stipends of 3,800 Euro/year; and 11% are granted fee waivers. Also, 20% of students receive external scholarships, from such sources as the Erasmus Mundus program, as well as alumni, private, corporate, and governmental donations.
In addition, CEU is committed to rewarding academic excellence through our research grants and achievement awards.
CEU rewards financial aid primarily on the basis of academic merit. Decisions on financial aid may also take into account priorities connected to the university mission as well as documented financial need.
