Hello everyone,

I'm seeking advice regarding my student visa application for KU Leuven University for entry in September 2024. A family friend who owns a company in the US has generously offered to provide a scholarship document to cover my living expenses in Belgium. I'm wondering about the feasibility of obtaining a visa with this scholarship and what specific documents would be required from his company. Since he's based in the US and there's no direct family relationship, I understand the Annex 32 form wouldn't be applicable. Does the scholarship document need to be legalized with the Belgian Embassy in the US before sending it to me or just the documents only? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated to avoid potential errors and visa denials.

Thank you!

Please if you have no reasonable suggestion, keep your bad mouth to yourself. I don't know where these is coming from... You aren't the one giving the scholarship why the itchy body?

No mind am.

There are 3 ways to prove financial sufficiency for Belgium
1. Blocked account
2. Annexe 32 (Sponsorship)
3. Scholarship

The Scholarship has to be something official, where you and other candidates have applied and based on your application the Scholarship was awarded. You cannot just generate a document and say you have a scholarship

If the person in US just wants to help fund your travel then he can pay in the amount into your blocked account.

Good luck
