Connect with DPP
CEU is committed to attracting talented students from around the world. The University offers a range of scholarship and fellowship for students studying in the Department of Public Policy (DPP) and encourages students to seek external sources of funding.
Granted on the basis of both academic merit and financial need, CEU scholarships and tuition awards are available for most of our programs. Please make sure to check your future program's website before you start your application. Remember to apply by the financial aid application deadline and fill out the Funding section of the Online Application Form so we can consider you for financial aid. Please make a responsible assessment of your financial situation before applying and also look for alternative sources of support, such as foundation grants, employer support or state scholarships.
Applications for admission to our master's programs by self-funding students continue to be accepted after the deadline for master's students seeking financial aid.
For Mundus MAPP candidates, no separate scholarship application is necessary; applicants who submit their applications by the relevant deadline will be automatically considered for financial aid.
Doctoral candidates applying for the Public Policy Track of the PhD in Political Science by the relevant application deadline are automatically considered for the CEU Doctoral Scholarship.
