Scholarships
Scholarships are annual nonrefundable student financial benefits that we give to students when they don’t hold a specific minimum level of financial resources.
How to apply
Before applying, you need to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements as defined in the Scholarship Regulation (Portuguese).
You should apply online via the BeOn Platform.
If you’re enrolled in a study programme at Politécnico de Leiria but have never applied for a scholarship, please request your credentials to apply.
If you’ve applied to one of our scholarships in the previous academic year, you can use the same user credentials to apply.
In case you’ve forgotten your credentials, request your password recovery at the Student Reserved Area or contact the Social Services.
Application deadlines
- From 25 June to 30 September.
- If you’ve registered after 30 September, you can only apply for a scholarship in the first 20 business days after you’ve registered with Politécnico de Leiria.
- You can also apply for a scholarship from 1 October to 31 May, but the amount you’ll get will be proportional to number of months you’ll study.
If you’re doing an internship, you can only apply for a scholarship in the first 20 business days after you’ve started your internship.
For further information, contact the Politécnico de Leiria’s Social Services.
