Academic Funding

UNU-MERIT supports access to education, in part by offering a variety of higher education programmes and short courses across multiple fields, and in part by supporting those who do not have the finances to access these programmes.

In pursuit of accessibility, UNU-MERIT has an MPP Scholarship Fund, designated to the financial support of students participating in the institute’s Master of Science in Public Policy and Human Development, a double-degree programme offered in collaboration with Maastricht University (MPP). The Scholarship Fund provides an opportunity for those associated with and working closely with UNU-MERIT to invest into the future of public policy education, as well as broader stakeholders wanting to invest in securing access to education for all.

See below the funding opportunities for prospective students, provided for by the MPP Scholarship Fund.

The MPP Scholarship

Full Scholarship – Masters of Science in Public Policy and Human Development

Colloquially known as the “MPP Scholarship”, this scholarship allows non-EU fellows who have not had the opportunity to study outside of their home countries due to financial constraints to attend the MPP.

The recipients will have the opportunity to be trained on public policy and human development, to join a diverse and motivated team of students and instructors, and to become a driver of change for societal good.

Total value of each scholarship in 2022: 27.407 euros
