University of Liège Scholarship

Here is an overview of the awards and scholarships offered by the heritage foundations of the Université de Liège (ULiège) — known in French as « Prix et bourses des Fondations du Patrimoine de l’ULiège ». I’ll summarise their purpose, types, eligibility, and major conditions. If you like, I can pull together all available current calls and amounts in an easy‑to‑use table.

Purpose & Scope

The heritage foundations of ULiège allocate a number of awards and scholarships each year — more than 80 according to the university’s communications.
These awards aim primarily to support:

• Students completing second cycle (i.e., Master’s) or third cycle (i.e., doctoral) programmes.
• Academic excellence (research work, publications, theses) at ULiège.
