The ITC Scholarship for Spatial Engineering Programme provides a limited number of partial scholarships to applicants with a very good academic track record, and who are applying for the Masters in Spatial Engineering. ITC is internationally renowned and recognised for its leading research in geospatial sciences and its main goal is to contribute to capacity development in order to promote sustainable, equitable, and digital societies.

Basis characteristic of the ITC Scholarship for Spatial Engineering.

The ITC Scholarship for Spatial Engineering is awarded by the Faculty of Geo‐Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente. It is awarded for the nominal completion of the Master’s degree programme in Spatial Engineering at the ITC unless the student fails to comply with the conditions set for this scholarship programme.

• The ITCS4SE is awarded to students selected by the ITC Faculty, according to the rules and regulations of this particular scholarship scheme. It provides a partial contribution to the overall budget package required for the Master’s degree programme M‐SE at ITC. The ITCS4SE holder is expected to fund the difference between the total study costs and that provided by the ITCS4SE.
• The Board of the ITC Faculty of the University of Twente determines the policy that governs the framework of the ITCS4SE.
• The ITC Faculty manages and monitors the ITCS4SE and is responsible for awarding and administering
  the scholarships.
