These universities have agreed to provide significant tuition discounts for CSLA candidates, and they actively participate in our selection process. Our university partnerships enable us to cluster grantees at institutions, and we therefore prioritize our established partners when we match CSLA finalists to MA programs in their field of study. Although the list changes yearly, partners in 2018 included universities in Europe, the US, and some parts of Asia. Scholarship Programs staff will arrange placements for CSLA finalists in cooperation with host university colleagues. Finalists are matched with universities according to their chosen area of specialization, overall academic profile (including language test scores), and professional aspirations. Final decisions concerning host university placement are made by the CSLA program staff, with input from the international selection committee and host university staff and faculty. Candidates must meet university standards for graduate studies admission. Please be aware that these standards vary from university to university. In some cases, CSLA finalists will need to apply to a CSLA host university directly. Finalists will be notified by CSLA staff, staff from the relevant university, or staff from a CSLA partner organization (e.g. DAAD), and asked to submit the additional application forms. Should the university require an application fee, CSLA staff will strive to waive this fee or to reimburse you directly. CSLA staff will work with you on this process. Please note: if you apply directly to a university without prior instruction from CSLA staff, we will not reimburse the application costs. Additionally, admission to a university does not guarantee placement at that university. CSLA staff will guide finalists through the placement process, but it is important to note that placement decisions sit with CSLA staff and are final. In the tables below, the listed accepted exam and scores are accurate to the best knowledge of CSLA staff and for the purposes of admission to universities through CSLA only. Due to the partnerships CSLA has with host universities, in limited cases certain programs are able to accept scores lower than the university’s standard admission requirements. Meeting the minimum language score of a university does not guarantee admission to a university. CSLA may partner with additional universities during the course of a selection cycle. We will provide updated information to applicants as necessary.
