Is the English exam waiver available for scholarships in Ireland/Netherlands?

It depends. Some scholarships offer English exam waivers, but this varies by university and scholarship program.

- Some institutions accept alternative proof, like a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter, instead of IELTS or TOEFL.
- Not all scholarships allow waivers - many require official English test scores.
- For example, at Saxion University (Netherlands), certain scholarships require specific IELTS scores, but an MOI can sometimes be accepted for program admission.
- In Ireland, the Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship does not require an English certificate for the scholarship, but universities or visa processes may still need proof later.

Requirements are subject to change. Check each scholarship’s eligibility criteria carefully. If you need help identifying scholarships that accept waivers, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
