Scholarships
At Academia Cerebra, we recognise that high-quality education is an important investment with the potential to transform a person’s professional opportunities, fulfilment and sense of purpose.
97% of Academia Cerebra graduates are employed within nine months of graduation, reinforcing the long-term professional value of our programmes.
To help talented candidates access our Micro-Masters programmes, the Academy offers a limited number of scholarships. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis and may take account of academic achievement, professional ambition, personal circumstances and the contribution a candidate could make to the Academia Cerebra community.

The Dean’s Scholarships
The Dean’s scholarships are awarded to Micro-Masters students of exceptional academic merit, integrity and motivation.
Their purpose is to help promising candidates from around the world access high-quality education, regardless of background, ethnicity, sexuality, disability or religion.

Awarded by George Bouvier Executive Director at Academia Cerebra
Partner Institution Scholarships
Students who are currently enrolled at, or have graduated from, an institution with which Academia Cerebra has a formal partnership agreement may be considered for a Partner Institution Scholarship. The availability and terms of these awards depend on the relevant partnership agreement.
Who is eligible?
Scholarships are available to applicants to Academia Cerebra’s Micro-Masters programmes. Domestic and international applicants are equally eligible to apply. Candidates must meet the relevant academic admissions requirements.
Scholarships are limited, awarded competitively and are not guaranteed. Any scholarship awarded will be applied towards tuition fees and will not be paid to the recipient as cash.
How to apply
Applicants do not need to select a particular scholarship. The Academy will consider each eligible applicant for the scholarship or scholarships most appropriate to their academic record, professional ambitions and personal circumstances.
Applicants who would like relevant personal barriers or disadvantages to be considered may explain these circumstances in their supporting statement. They are not required to disclose information that they consider unduly sensitive, and the Academy does not normally require documentary proof of a protected characteristic.
Candidates who wish to be considered for a scholarship must download and complete the Financial Support Pack and email it, together with the appropriate supporting evidence, to info@academiacerebra.com.
The completed Financial Support Pack should be submitted at the same time as the course application and no later than the published application deadline.
Interest-free payment plans
Interest-free monthly payment plans may be approved in exceptional circumstances where an applicant can demonstrate both a need for additional financial flexibility and a credible ability to meet the proposed instalments. Approval is discretionary and subject to financial assessment.
Applicants must be able to pay the €2,500 enrolment deposit and any applicable administrative fee before the plan begins. The remaining tuition balance will ordinarily be divided into monthly instalments payable during the course. The number of instalments must not exceed the duration of the course.
Applicants should request a payment plan through the Financial Support Pack. If approved, the Finance Department will issue a proposal confirming the monthly instalments and payment dates.
