Leiden University Excellence Scholarship LExS 2027

The Leiden University Excellence Scholarship LExS 2027 supports outstanding non-EEA students who plan to start a master’s programme in the Netherlands. The award provides a substantial tuition fee contribution for September 2027 entry at one of Europe’s oldest universities.

Leiden University offers this competitive scholarship to excellent applicants. Only about 25 awards go out each year from a large pool of candidates. The scholarship links directly to the master’s admission application so both processes run together.

Furthermore, faculty selection committees review nominations after the deadline. Results arrive before the end of March for September starters. This timeline helps applicants plan their next steps clearly.
