The Erasmus University NL Scholarship is financed by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and Dutch research universities and universities of applied sciences. The scholarship is meant for excellent non-EEA (EEA consists of the EU countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) students of English-taught degree programmes in Holland.
Eligibility
- You are a national of a non-EEA country (not holding an extra EEA nationality) and hence you have to pay the institutional tuition fee.
- You have never been enrolled as a full degree student at an educational institution in the Netherlands.
- You have not obtained a diploma at an educational institution in the Netherlands.
- You are or will be accepted for one of the bachelor programmes of ESSB.
- You are considered an excellent applicant, as apparent from your motivation and grade point average at the moment of application (demonstrated through your academic record). The rule of thumb is that the average grade should be the equivalent to the Dutch grade of 8.0 on the Dutch grading scale of 1 to 10.
Scholarship amount and payment
The Erasmus University NL scholarship amounts from € 5,000 up to € 10,000. You will receive this in the first year of your studies. Please note that this is not a full-tuition scholarship.
The scholarship will only be rewarded if you start studying in the same programme for which you have applied, have been granted admission and awarded the scholarship.
Application procedure
The application consists of a motivation letter (one page maximum) where the candidate answers two questions:
- Why do you need the scholarship?

The answer to the latter question can, but does not have to, include grades.

- be submitted before May 1st, 2024;
