EHU offers a flexible system of grants to cover education. Grants are awarded based on the portfolio competition.
The portfolio is formed by the achievements of the applicant or student within the studies and beyond. If you have participated in olympiads, competitions, contests, projects, you have publications, certificates, etc. – all this you can be added to your portfolio.
Grants are distributed at the end of each semester. In this way, each student can influence tuition fees by improving their academic performance and continually 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.
Tuition fees are as following:
