Institutional graduate and post-graduate scholarship competitions – Winter 2025
On January 6, 2025, the graduate and post-graduate scholarships portal will be open for applications for the following competitions:
- ETS internal (deadline: January 24, 2025 at 3 p.m)

Helpful hints
It’s up to you: follow the guidelines or have your scholarship application refused. For all scholarship competitions, it is important to follow the organization’s guidelines with respect to the writing and preparation of your application file. Otherwise, your application may be refused. The same applies for the institutional graduate and post-graduate scholarship competitions that are being held in January.
We have posted some examples of texts that comply with the guidelines for internal scholarship competitions on the ÉTS website. These examples may also be relevant to other competitions.
Be careful! Students sometimes submit the exact same application (e.g.: the same texts) to a competition that they submitted the previous year, without taking the time to verify whether the rules and guidelines for the competition have changed.
This unfortunate shortcut is not a prudent course of action, because if there are new rules or guidelines, these applications are not compliant, and are refused.
