Amandus H. Lundqvist Scholarship Programme (ALSP)
The Amandus H. Lundqvist Scholarship Programme (ALSP) is TU Eindhoven's most prestigious award for international Master's students — €15,000 per year for two years (€30,000 total / LKR 10.3 million), plus a separate scholarship to cover the full statutory tuition fees (around €2,500/year for non-EEA Master's students under TU/e's reduced international rate). The award is named for Amandus Lundqvist, a former TU/e Rector. TU/e is one of the world's top technical universities, ranked top-10 globally for innovation impact in the Reuters / Times Higher Education innovation rankings. Eindhoven is the heart of the Dutch 'Brainport' high-tech ecosystem — home to ASML, Philips, NXP, and a dense web of deep-tech startups offering strong graduate placement.
The round for September 2026 entry closed on 1 February 2026. The award runs on an annual cycle tied to admission, so expect a comparable deadline in early February for the following year. Confirm the current date with Eindhoven University of Technology before planning around it.

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
Eindhoven University of Technology — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
How you are considered
Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.
What it covers
€15,000 / Year + Tuition Coverage. This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.
Where we come in
We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.
fact_check Eligibility Criteria
Apply to TU/e Master's by 1 February
You must apply to a full-time English-taught Master's at TU Eindhoven for September 2026 entry by 1 February. ALSP-eligible programmes include Computer Science & Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, and Industrial Design — most TU/e Master's programmes qualify.
Top 5% of Undergraduate Cohort
ALSP is reserved for applicants in the top 5% of their undergraduate cohort. For Sri Lankan applicants this means a first-class honours engineering / science degree from Moratuwa, Peradeniya, Colombo, SLIIT, or a strong overseas Bachelor's — ideally with research output (thesis publication, conference paper, project showcase).
Non-EEA Citizen
ALSP is reserved for non-EEA citizens, including Sri Lankan applicants. EEA / Swiss students have separate funding routes via the Dutch government and EU schemes. The award is independent of financial need — purely merit-based.
English Proficiency
Meet TU/e's standard English requirement — typically IELTS 6.5+ overall (with at least 6.0 in each component) or TOEFL iBT 90+. Sri Lankan applicants with English-medium engineering Bachelor's may submit an MOI waiver letter from their institution.
account_tree Application Process
Apply to TU/e Master's by 1 February
Submit your Master's application via the TU/e online portal. Include all transcripts (English translations), undergraduate ranking certificate (essential for ALSP), motivation letter, two academic references, CV, English test result, and (for some programmes) a research proposal sketch.
Indicate ALSP consideration
Within the Master's application, explicitly tick the ALSP consideration option. Submit an additional 800-1,000 word ALSP-specific motivation letter covering your academic excellence, research interests, and reasons for choosing TU Eindhoven over peer universities.
Departmental + central review
Your application is first reviewed by the Master's programme's admissions committee. Top-ranked candidates are nominated to the TU/e central scholarship committee. Final outcomes are released in April-May.
Acceptance + Dutch residence permit
Awardees receive an ALSP offer letter naming the €15,000/year living allowance and the tuition fee scholarship. The €15,000 is disbursed in monthly instalments after enrolment. You then apply for the Dutch student residence permit with TU/e as sponsor.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?
Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
