For scholarships requiring specific grades, the final grades must be attached. application deadlines have been aligned with the dates for receipt of the most common grades (Baccalaureate, PAU University Entrance Examination, etc.). This will allows applicants to have a greater degree of certainty regarding their eligibility to apply.
10. Do I have to finish Bachillerato and take the PAU in the same year I apply to university?
In the case of scholarships that require academic performance, this is the standard procedure. Should you commence your university degree in September 2025, you will be required to have completed the second year of Bachillerato and to have taken the PAU in June 2025.
11. I’m an international student. Can I get a scholarship?
Students from other countries who wish to pursue their studies at UFV may apply for the Brilliant Academic Record Scholarship, provided they meet the established academic requirements. Furthermore, applicants must also present the official documentation that accredits access to the Spanish university (Homologation of Baccalaureate, European Digital Credentials for Learning or UNED University Entrance Examination-PAU for foreign studies). Documentation presented for the scholarship evaluation must be the same as that presented for legal access to the university.
There are also other scholarships and discounts for international students that you can see here
12. These agencies have lengthy processing periods for issuing documents. What can I do?
In this case, we advise you to contact Homologation Student Services, a company with expertise in the technical studies of predictive grade point averages for bachelor’s degrees. This is important if your legal access to the university is through the homologation of the undergraduate degree. You can visit their website www.hostudents.com or via email infomadrid@hostudents.com
This average provides a predictive grade that is similar to the one you will receive upon official homologation from the Ministry of Education. Therefore, the grades will be indicative, but in no case binding. This study must be submitted during the designated application period to allow for a comprehensive evaluation of your application.
If you are seeking admission to the university through the EU Credential, you are required to present the UNED Credential in a timely manner and in the form indicated.

If you intend to apply for financial aid, it is advisable to file the Personal Income Tax declaration for the current tax year. You can file your tax return beforehand or wait (as long as the application period is still open) to apply for your financial aid once you have done so.
16. When will I know if I've been awarded a scholarship, grant or discount?
The final answer to your application depends on several factors. Among them:
- Type of scholarship, grant or discount you are applying for (bear in mind that some grants, such as the UFV Financial Aid, require a more complex and rigorous study and must go before a Scholarship Committee).
- That you have submitted all the necessary documentation (you should bear in mind that for certain documentation we depend on other external bodies: schools, University Entrance Examination-PAU, Tax Authority, etc.). In this regard, if you plan to apply for a type of scholarship that requires you to submit your tax return, we recommend that you submit it as soon as possible. Also, do not forget to submit your grades as soon as possible.
- In the case of renewal students or higher courses, it is necessary to have the final grades (ordinary or extraordinary call).
If these parameters are met, the Study Aid Service is committed to responding as soon as possible.
17. What tuition fees are covered by grants, scholarships, and discounts?
Grants, scholarships, or discounts are typically applied to the cost of tuition, with the exception of the registration fee and the initial enrollment payment. In the event that a grant is applicable in a different manner, the relevant details can be found on the corresponding webpage.
18. Can I get a cash discount (prompt payment) with other grants, scholarships, and discounts?
The cash discount for early payment is compatible with all grants, scholarships and discounts.
19. So, if I pay in cash before aid is applied, how is the scholarship applied?
The Administration Department will issue a letter to families informing them of the administrative rules. The letter will indicate that, in this case, the family must request a refund of the sum granted by UFV from the finance department.
20. Can I apply for the grant, scholarship or discount every year?
Certain grants and scholarships are available for application each year of the degree program, with the exception of the final year. One such example is the UFV Financial Aid and scholarships for a brilliant academic record. In the final year of the degree, students may apply for an aid called “Honor Credit,” which covers a portion of the enrollment costs and requires repayment by the student. To determine which of our grants and scholarships are subject to this requirement, please refer to our website or contact our department.
Please note that the granting and/or maintenance of grants is contingent upon the fulfillment of the conditions established for each grant.
21. Can I receive a scholarship from the public bodies if I study at a private university?
Yes, you can apply for scholarships from public agencies such as the General Scholarship of the Ministry of Education for university studies (offered by the Regional Governments of Navarra and the Basque Country for students from those Autonomous Communities) or the Excellence Scholarship of the Region of Madrid. The level of compatibility may be total or partial and is determined by the corresponding public body.
22. Are there any limits to grants, scholarships, and discounts?
At Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, we are committed to assisting our students in reducing tuition costs. A significant number of them receive scholarships, which contribute to making our education accessible to a diverse range of students. A fund has been set aside for this purpose, and scholarships, grants, and discounts will be awarded in accordance with the fund’s economic availability.
