The grant will be disbursed according to the applicable rules and the following terms:

  • The grant amount of €10,020 is divided into 12 monthly payments deposited into a bank account denominated in euros. This support does not cover the full costs of one academic year; therefore, the laureate must supplement these funds with personal resources. Moreover, this funding is incompatible with other support provided by WBI or ARES.
  • This amount meets the requirement of sufficient means of subsistence for a long-stay study visa (Visa D).
  • The successful candidate shall benefit from an exemption from the administrative fee payable to the Immigration Office.
  • Visa fees or other expenses must be advanced by the candidate. They will be indirectly reimbursed through the monthly payments, with no advance disbursement before the start of the academic year. Furthermore, Wallonia-Brussels International does not intervene in financial procedures related to obtaining the visa.

Additionally, Wallonia-Brussels International covers health insurance (mutual subrogation), repatriation, and personal liability insurance for the grant holder. Travel insurance remains the responsibility of the candidate.
