Each year, the Admissions Committee awards full and partial scholarships (i.e. for our three year undergraduate program) to a citizen of one of the following world regions:
| World Regions | ||||
| Africa | Asia and Oceania | Latin America and the Caribbean | North America | Europe |
There is no extra application process for one of our Jacobs scholarships. Anyone who completes an application for admission evaluation, submitting SAT or ACT standardized test results, will be considered for a scholarship. All candidates then compete with other applicants within the admission round.
There is no score cut-off or GPA requirement needed to attain a scholarship. The Admissions Committee that determines Jacobs scholarships examines all application components, from recommendation letters, essays, application presentation to grades and scores – also taking into consideration cultural background – a key feature that makes Jacobs such a special institution. Naturally, better scores, grades and overall presentation will improve ones chances of acquiring a scholarship.
If you are interested in being considered for a general Jacobs Scholarship to attend Jacobs University, we recommend that you apply as early as possible during our admission season. December 1 and February 15 are our priority deadlines. We have one final deadline on June 15 for Round III. Applying in this round, however, is not recommended for non-EU citizens, especially because of the limited time required to obtain a visa.
Jacobs University employs a US-styled admission process, and SAT or ACT exam results are required for scholarship qualification.
How much are the Jacobs Entrance Scholarships?
Depending on the quality of our applicant pool, we may offer scholarships covering the costs of one-third, one-half, or two-thirds of the tuition fees for the aforementioned world regions (e.g. currently €6,000, €9,000, €12,000 per year). Some outstanding candidates may even be offered a full tuition scholarship of €18,000 per year. Jacobs Entrance Scholarships may be renewed for three years, meaning these awards can cover up to €18,000, €27,000, €36,000 or €54,000 of the overall tuition fees (2010/2011). Based on admission rates in the past few years, candidates have had a 40-50% chance of obtaining a Jacobs Entrance Scholarship. Further aid is possible through our financial aid packages.
