About this grant

The Quality and Academic Excellence Scholarship is a programme of the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (UNEATLANTICO, Santander) for new students with a brilliant academic result. It exempts 100% of tuition with Honours, an Extraordinary Prize or an equivalent and 75% with an average of 9.0 to 10; the university gives one scholarship per grade range per degree that actually starts that year.

For 75% you need an access mark of at least 9: 60% of the Bachillerato average and 40% of the PAU general phase. Applications and documents are submitted at the university's office in your country or its scholarships unit in Santander: in the 2026-27 cycle the window ran from 7 January to 1 August and the committee decided by 15 August. For renewal you must pass all of the previous year's credits with an average of at least 8, and the aid is then 50%.
