○Grants from the Financial Aid Excellence Program

Grants from this program are available for several degrees. The key characteristics of the program are:

◦Our commitment to talented and hard-working students

A typical award amounts to 65% of the cost for each academic year, but can be up to 100%.

Keep it up and CEU will keep on investing in you: guaranteed

Grants from the Financial Aid Excellence Program are renewed each academic year, so long as you continue to meet the academic requirements. So, if your average grade is at least as good the minimum which appears in the grant agreement, then you’ll continue to receive the grant for as long as this is the case, right up to graduation. If you keep it up, there’s no risk, even though the award needs to be renewed each year. This is our promise: if you keep on performing, we’ll keep on helping you.

◦Time is in your favour and you’re free to choose

We’ll let you know if you’ve been awarded a grant from this program in early July. We’ll notify you then so that you’ll still be free to make your choice about your university studies. If we tell you you’ve got a grant, then you’ll also know that you have a place at our University and that you have all the advantages of the Financial Aid Excellence Program. And if we tell you that you haven’t got an award, then you still have time to choose what you want to do: to continue through our admissions process, or, if you prefer, you can ask us to return any fees paid for registration and you can exercise your freedom and choose another university. It’s important to remember that if you cancel your application to study at the university in good time, with a simple email, then the refund of your registration fee is guaranteed. It’s that easy: no further explanation or procedure is required.

ELIGIBILITY

Any candidate who has obtained an average grade of 7 in the first year of your Baccalaureate or its international equivalent (i.e. your penultimate year of study at school before university) can apply. You must have undertaken appropriate studies to prepare for university access at a duly recognized educational institution.

ASSESSMENT

For the award of the grants, the Commission will take into account the following factors as worthy of merit when assessing candidates:

a. Having a higher grade than other candidates and one which is deemed to be excellent by the Commission.

b. Evidence of proficiency in one or more languages. For the purpose of establishing each candidate’s level of ability, the typical standards and certificates will be accepted. The only languages

benefit from a reduction up to 100% of your academic fees

which will be considered to be advantageous are Spanish (in the case of non-native speakers) and foreign languages, i.e. not those which are official languages alongside Spanish in one of Spain’s autonomous regions.

c. The social and extracurricular activities undertaken by the candidate. For this purpose, the candidate may submit documentation to demonstrate their participation in these activities and/or letters of recommendation from the persons under whose guidance these activities were performed.

d. Family income.
