Admission

The CEU Merit Talent Bridge is a financial aid program for students from foreign pre-university systems who want to attend 1st year of university. Its fundamental objective is to reward the talent in our classrooms.

The program grants up to 50% of the academic fees*, depending on the academic record and profile of the candidate, and offers the possibility of renewing the scholarship during all the years of the degree.

* Academic fees are the total price of an academic year; they do not include the fees of pre-admission or enrollment.

Talent Bridge scholarships are awarded to students who meet the following requirements:

• Reside outside Spain and come from a foreign pre-university educational system.
• Have a high school diploma, or equivalent, equal to or greater than 8 out of 10.
• Have been admitted through the international admission process.
• Pay the pre-admission fee at Universidad CEU San Pablo before the end of the scholarship call (consult the dates in the scholarship leaflet).

* Transfer students will not be able to apply for financial aid.

For the award of the scholarship, the Commission will take the following relevant merits into consideration to evaluate the candidates:

• Academic Records: have a superior grade compared to the rest of the candidates and evaluated as excellent by the Commission.
• Languages: the domain of two or more languages (with the standards and certificates of habitual use). For the purposes of level accreditation, standards and equivalences of certificates and diplomas will be used in relation to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR, or CEFR in English).
• Social and extracurricular activities: extracurricular activities that contributed to the enrichment of the personality, values and effort (sports, volunteering, work experience, etc.). In this respect, the candidate will be allowed to present the documentation that is considered that certifies the extracurricular activity and/or recommendation letters of the people under whose responsibility these activities have taken place.

The academic transcript from the last completed year will have to be submitted during the admission process (through the Future Student Portal) and before before the end of the scholarship call (consult the dates in the scholarship leaflet). The transcript will be accompanied by an equivalence document of your grades to the Spanish grading system.

The equivalence document, which indicates a grade from 1 to 10, can be a credential emitted by the Spanish Ministry of Education or the UNED. If a candidate does not have such a document by the indicated date, the university will accept an equivalence document issued by the education company  HOMOLOGATION STUDENTS SERVICES [1] (email: report@hostudents.com. Tel. +34 628 237 237).

Aspects 2 and 3 will be valued with the documentation provided by the candidate during his admission process (motivation letter, CV and language certificate).

[1] . The equivalence document is issued within 72 hours. Cost: € 30

Scholarship applicants will be notified of the resolution of the CEU Merit Talent Bridge via email (consult the dates in the scholarship leaflet).

Granting of this aid will be definitive after its communication, even though the candidate has not yet presented the documents of legal access to a Spanish university. But it will always be conditioned to prove, through the established documentation, that the conditions of access to the University are met.

Unsubscribe from the CEU Merit Talent Bridge program

If having complied with all the requirements a candidate is not granted a scholarship, they may exercise their right to withdraw the pre-admission and reservation of place and have this fee returned in accordance with the provisions of the bases.

If the candidate has paid the Hospitality Services (€500), this amount will only be refunded if the student has not received any of the services by the date of financial aid resolution.
