Vocatio

Are you between 18 and 30 years old and looking for financial support to follow your passion? You’ve come to the right place: Vocatio offers €10,000 scholarships every year to young talents who, like you, could use a little help to pursue their vocation.

The call for candidates is open from September 16 to November 4, 2024.

Can I apply for a Vocatio grant?

Vocatio scholarships are available to all young people, without distinction of language, origin, culture or level of study, subject to certain conditions:

  • On December 31 of the filing year, you are at least 18 and less than 30 years old.
  • You are Belgian or if you have a foreign nationality:
    • you must be anchored in Belgium, i.e. be domiciled in Belgium and have lived there for at least five years;
    • you must not be from a country where a similar organisation/foundation to Vocatio exists. Young people of French nationality, for example, will be referred to the French foundation ‘La fondation Marcel Bleustein- Blanchet de la Vocation’;
  • Your project is a vocation (a passion or life project) based on:
    • a pursuit of excellence
    • as well as a commitment to social impact
  • Your vocation is concrete and you can demonstrate achievements. So it is more than an idea. You experience financial difficulties in developing it further.
  • Your vocation falls under one of the six domains supported by Vocatio:
    • Medical science
    • Science and technique
    • Social and human sciences
    • Performing arts
