8.3 EIT InnoEnergy continues student support with Energy Impact scholarships

In 2022, as in previous years, EIT InnoEnergy offered a range of scholarships/fee waivers for top applicants based on a combination of academic skills (such as past performance, quality of previous education and university), professional background, affinity with innovation and entrepreneurship, amongst others.

For intake 2023, we are granting ten full-fee waivers, worth €18,000 a year – along with a number of partial-fee and regional-fee waivers - to candidates with outstanding profiles that contribute to the power of our student body. Candidates are selected based on the following criteria:

• Candidates who enrich the diversity of our programmes (criteria include background, nationality, social contribution, gender identity and sexual orientation).

• Candidates from EIT RIS (regional innovation scheme) countries.

• Candidates with proven entrepreneurial experience (such as having set up their own venture).

The awarded candidates for the ten full-fee waiver Energy Impact Scholarships are selected based on the admission ranking amongst an average of 1,500 applications each year. These scholarships are not linked to any specific master’s programme.

Recipients of an EIT InnoEnergy full-fee waiver are expected to contribute to the Master School by sharing their experiences during their studies through blogs, vlogs, social media activities and/or ambassadorship work to be agreed upon with EIT InnoEnergy upon enrolment.
