Exciting news for ambitious students! Leiden University in the Netherlands is currently accepting applications for the 2023 Excellence Scholarship for International Students. This scholarship presents a remarkable opportunity for those eager to elevate their academic pursuits to new heights. Leiden University takes pride in offering the prestigious Leiden University Excellence Scholarship (LExS) exclusively to international students for the upcoming 2023-2024 academic session.

The scholarship has three levels of awards and covers part of the tuition fee, ranging from €10,000 to the total tuition fee minus the statutory tuition fee.
