This year, you could be one of the 25 ambitious, highly motivated students who have their studies partially or even fully funded by the Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation Scholarship at Modul University Vienna.

Let's dive into the details!

The Selection Board will grant a maximum of 15 partial or full scholarships for the Fall 2024 intake and an additional maximum of 10 partial or full scholarships for the Spring 2025 intake.

The MCC Scholarship is a merit-based award for students with a proven track record of high academic performance and willingness to go the extra mile. Below, we provide a few criteria based on which you can estimate your chances of being offered a place in this exclusive program.  

Scholarships will be offered based on a holistic assessment, so if you believe that you meet some/most of the criteria below, do not hesitate to apply! 

• You have achieved at least 80% cumulative performance (GPA) throughout your classes in the last 4 completed semesters, OR 

• You are actively involved in social, cultural, or volunteering activities, with evidence of at least 2 such endeavors, OR 

• You have participated in competitions, accelerators, or activities requiring extra time and dedication (e.g., completing 2 types of curriculums simultaneously, participating in an Olympiad, excelling in competitions, creating a business or impact concept in an accelerator, publishing academic research, articles, etc.). 

You will start your journey by going through the regular application process of Modul University. Based on the evaluation of your application and your interview, top candidates will be proposed for consideration for the MCC Scholarship. In a second round, the Selection Board consisting of MCC and Modul University delegated members will decide on awarding scholarships.

You will be notified of the outcome of your scholarship application within 15 days from the scholarship interview. 

Upon selection for the full scholarship, kindly note that securing your scholarship requires the submission of a deposit amounting to 1500 euros. This deposit will be reimbursed within one month of your commencement of studies at Modul University.
