MINCIENCIAS, COLFUTURO & Sapiencia

The University of Groningen supports Colombian students who would like to finance their PhD trajectory with the help of the Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Inovación (MINCIENCIAS), Fundación para el Futuro de Colombia (COLFUTURO), or the Agencia de Educación Postsecundaria de Medellín (Sapiencia).

Candidates who secure funding from any of these agencies are eligible for our top-up program.

To apply for scholarships in most of these agencies you will need a Letter of Acceptance. How do you get a Letter of Acceptance from the UG? Consult our webpage for scholarship PhDs.
