The training candidate should have relevant professional experience and a support letter confirming (re)integration during a professional context where the acquired knowledge and skills are going to be immediately applicable.
• Fungibility with other VLIR-UOS funding: Candidates who are performing at a university where we already fund IUC, TEAM or SI projects, can receive an ITP-ICP scholarship if they clearly motivate the rationale for his or her application and if they clarify why the participation at the ICP or ITP programme can’t be funded as a part of the IUC, TEAM or SI programme or project funds that exist already .
• Other VLIR-UOS scholarship applications and previously awarded scholarships: a possible candidate can only submit one scholarship application with us per annum – regardless of the scholarship type – and may , therefore, only be selected for one VLIR-UOS scholarship per annum . Candidates who already received one among our scholarships to participate in another ITP, won’t be eligible. Candidates who already received one among our scholarship to participate in an ICP (or vice versa) can only be selected if the previously attended course is thematically linked to the ITP.
