Application information
The BTC (Belgian Technical Cooperation) welcomes students on arrival in Belgium and follows their progress during their stay. However, it does not award grants. There is therefore is no point in contacting its personnel until you are sure that you have been awarded a grant.
It is essential that applications are made to the representatives of Belgium in the country of origin of the grant applicant. Standard forms are available from Belgian cooperation attachés in the partner countries.
A Cooperation Attaché is present in each Belgian representative office (Belgian Embassy or Consulate) in Belgian governmental cooperation partner countries.
