Funding package
What the opportunity covers
Five-year cost-of-living scholarship. The official financing page states €26,000 per year for students entering in 2025. The 2027 amount is not yet explicitly stated and is therefore not treated as confirmed.
Full tuition waiver for all HEC PhD students.
Number available: Approximately 10 to 12 students admitted each year across specialisations, according to the official FAQ.
Conference travel, food, lodging, visa and registration support, research visits with additional living support, return travel, visa and mandatory health insurance, research grants, optional paid teaching and research assistant work, and paid maternity leave with possible additional scholarship funding.
Up to five years
Not mentioned by the official source
Mandatory fees
Living stipend
These costs are not addressed in the funding information captured from the provider. That does not mean they are excluded — it means nobody has stated either way. Budget for them, and confirm on the official source.
