About the scholarship

Webster Vienna Private University — the Austrian campus of the American-accredited Webster University network — offers partial, merit- and need-based scholarships to incoming undergraduate and graduate students. The flagship WVPU New Student Scholarships are multiyear tuition awards for newly admitted bachelor’s and master’s degree students, with amounts set by academic merit and demonstrated financial need.

Two things to get straight before you apply: these awards are partial (the university’s own admissions page describes them as "partial, merit- and need-based scholarships and tuition grants"), and they are only for newly admitted full-degree students — certificate and English-preparation programmes are not eligible.

What the scholarship pays

  • WVPU New Student Scholarships: €3,000 to €12,000 per academic year (official range), awarded for multiple years. Scholarship trackers break this into Distinction, Merit and Honors tiers — roughly up to €12,000/year for bachelor’s and up to €8,000/year for master’s at the top tier — but the university’s official figure is the €3,000–€12,000 range.
  • Borealis Social Scholarship / Borealis Excellence Award: separate named awards reported by trackers at up to €21,000 and €10,000 per academic year respectively — confirm availability with the Admissions Office, as these are not detailed on the main admissions page.
  • Webster Alumni Graduate Discount: an automatic 20% tuition discount for Webster University alumni entering any master’s programme.
  • Webster Vienna Legacy Grant: 10% tuition reduction for students whose parent or sibling attends or graduated within the Webster network.

Eligibility

  • Status: newly admitted to a full bachelor’s or master’s degree programme at Webster Vienna (not certificate or English-prep tracks).
  • Nationality: all nationalities, including international students.
  • Academics: minimum GPA of 3.0 on the American 4-point scale, plus exceptional academic achievement for the higher tiers.
  • Financial need: demonstrated significant financial need — this is a need-aware award.
  • English: advanced or native-level proficiency (B2 to C1).
  • Renewal: full-time enrolment and a minimum 3.0 GPA each semester.

Documents you will need

  • The completed scholarship application form (requested from the Admissions Office after admission).
  • Academic transcripts and proof of GPA.
  • Evidence of financial need (financial documents).
  • Proof of English proficiency (B2–C1).
  • Essays as requested on the scholarship form (trackers mention reflective essay prompts).
  • Acceptance letter from Webster Vienna (you apply for the scholarship after admission).

How to apply

  1. Apply for admission to your chosen bachelor’s or master’s programme at Webster Vienna.
  2. Receive your acceptance letter — only admitted students can proceed.
  3. Request the scholarship form from the Admissions Office (scholarship@webster.ac.at, per trackers).
  4. Prepare your financial and academic documents plus the required essays.
  5. Submit everything before 30 November 2026, 13:00 CET for Spring 2027 entry (the window runs 1 October – 30 November).
  6. Note the visa timeline: international students needing an Austrian student residence permit should start early — processing can take 4–7 months, and you must show proof of financial capability beyond the scholarship.

FAQs

Are Webster Vienna scholarships fully funded?

No — and this matters. They are partial awards of €3,000–€12,000 per academic year against tuition. You must cover the remaining tuition plus living costs in Vienna, and show proof of financial capability for the residence permit.

Who can apply?

Newly admitted bachelor’s and master’s degree students of any nationality, with at least a 3.0 GPA, B2–C1 English, and demonstrated financial need.

What are the deadlines?

Two windows a year: 31 May (13:00 CET) for fall entry and 30 November (13:00 CET) for spring entry. The currently open window is Spring 2027 entry, closing 30 November 2026.

Do I apply for the scholarship before admission?

No — admission comes first. You request the scholarship form from the Admissions Office after receiving your acceptance letter.

Can the award be renewed?

Yes, for up to 4 years (bachelor’s) or 2 years (master’s), provided you stay enrolled full-time and keep a 3.0 GPA each semester.

I am a Webster alumnus — anything for me?

Yes: Webster University alumni receive an automatic 20% tuition discount on any master’s programme, no separate application.
