Scholarship for Outstanding Academic Record

With the aim of promoting academic excellence and consolidating a brilliant educational track record, Francisco de Vitoria University awards these grants as a distinction to those students who excel in their high school transcripts in the year prior to entering our University.

This scholarship does not apply to degrees in Medicine and Dentistry.

Deadline: June 15–30, 2026. However, for the Scholarships for Outstanding Academic Achievement, applicants may apply for the scholarship at any time during the admissions cycle prior to the general deadline for this scholarship, provided they have previously secured their place at the institution.

In these cases, students should request information about the process by email admisioninternacional@ufv.es In any case, even if a decision had been received prior to this date, it will be conditional and subject to a formal request submitted on the date mentioned above through the Candidate Portal.

Required documentation to be submitted (must match the documentation submitted for legal admission to the university):

Access via UE Credential: UNED Credential document.
Admission via High School Equivalency: Equivalency Certificate.

If you do not have the official documents in your possession at the time of submission, you may submit a technical analysis of your predicted grade point average prepared by “Homologation Student Services,” the consulting firm responsible for conducting this analysis. For more information about this process, please contact us via email at info@hostudents.com as well as visiting the website hostudents.com. The cost of this study will be borne by the student.

As a general rule, the average grade from the high school diploma completed during the 2025–2026 school year will be taken into account when awarding the scholarship. However, due to differences in the timing of graduation in certain countries, the Scholarship Committee may consider granting a preliminary award based on the grades from the school year prior to the final one.

Studies based on a predicted grade point average will result, if applicable, in a conditional award of the scholarship. Once the final grades issued by official bodies (Ministry of Education, UNED, etc.) are obtained, they must be submitted to the Student Financial Aid Office. If, upon submission of the final grade, the grade point average does not meet the minimum requirement for awarding the scholarship, the student will not be eligible to apply for it (or the application will be denied) in subsequent academic years.

Scholarship amounts based on the minimum grade required in previous studies: Between 8.50 and 8.99 – 40% scholarship Between 9.00 and 10 – 60% scholarship The discount percentages do not apply to seat reservations or the initial tuition payment.

Recipients will receive a preliminary award letter indicating the corresponding percentage. The final award is contingent upon successful enrollment.

As a general rule, the average grade obtained in the final year of high school in the 2024-2025 academic year will be taken into account when awarding the scholarship. However, due to the different completion times for studies in certain countries, the Scholarship Committee may consider a pre-award based on the grades obtained in the academic year prior to the last one.

Scholarship amounts based on the minimum grade required in previous studies:

Between 8.50 and 8.99 – 40% scholarship
Between 9.00 and 10 – 60% scholarship

Discount percentages do not apply to seat reservations or the initial tuition payment.

The Scholarship Committee's decision will be communicated to students through the channels established by the Student Aid Service.

Beneficiaries will receive a pre-award letter with the corresponding percentage. The final award is conditional upon effective enrollment.
