The LLM Programmes self can offer a limited number of partial tuition waivers for excellent applicants showing financial need. You can apply for such a partial tuition waiver by adding an additional motivation letter to your application file (supported by the documents proving your financial need).
Furthermore, there is a possibility to apply for a Master Mind scholarship or a Top-Up Grant. For both of these projects, the LLM Programme will be requested to short-list the nominees from the admitted applicants, eligible for the scholarship/grant. The decision for who will be granted the scholarship is likely to be given in the late spring, or at the start of summer at the earliest.
More information on both scholarships can be found here:
As the competition is quite strong and a lot of foreign students are asking for financial assistance, we strongly urge our applicants to be financially self-supportive, either through personal means or through third-party intervention.

Financial aid through the LLM Programmes
LLM candidates are encouraged to explore avenues for financial aid external to the LLM programmes. It should be stressed, however, that the LLM programmes cannot offer any technical or logistical support for these external application processes, other than letters of recommendation and/or confirmations of application or selection, where required.
Here are a few options that may be helpful to you as you explore the possibilities of external financial aid.
1) The Belgian Directorate General for Development Cooperation has bilateral agreements with about 20 countries, the nationals of which may be granted a scholarship when studying at a Belgian university. A complete list of the countries for which such scholarship possibility is available can be found here.
For each of the countries, addresses and coordinates can be found of the responsible attache in the Belgian Embassy or Consulate General. Applications and questions on the procedure for obtaining of scholarships should be forwarded to the responsible attache.
