EHU offers a flexible system of grants to cover tuition. Grants are distributed based on the results of the portfolio competition.

Portfolios form the achievements of an applicant or student within the study and beyond. If you have participated in olympiads, competitions, contests, projects, you have publications, certificates, etc. – all this you can add to your portfolio.

Grants are distributed at the end of each semester. Thus, each student can influence the amount of tuition fees, improving their academic results and constantly working on an individual portfolio.

100% grant – fully covers the cost of tuition per semester.

50% grant – covers half of the tuition fees per semester.

In the Cost of education section, you will find the rates for each of the programs.

The portfolio consists of two mandatory parts:

1. Achievements and/or work samples
2. Cover letter

Academic, social, and creative accomplishments and/or exemplary work is something that can objectively demonstrate your talent and potential. Diplomas of competitions, conferences and olympiads, information on participation in social and volunteer projects, electronic versions of creative works (audiovisual and other genres) and research, school medals, etc. can serve as such achievements or samples of work. The university does not limit in any way what you can use to showcase your talents and potential.
