tuition funding: fellowships, scholarships, study grants
EU Funding:
Our program is recognized and funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education, and students are therefore eligible to national or international study grants. This is reflected in the difference in tuition fees with Non-EU students. Students can check the grantfinder of the Study in Holland website to see if they can apply for a scholarship or grant in the Netherlands. We also advise students to turn to scholarship programs in their home country.
Dutch students:
Dutch students may qualify for ‘studiefinanciering’ via the DUO – Informatie Beheer Groep (DUO-IBG). See their DUO website for further details.

International Students:
Firstly, international students depend on the study grants offered in their home countries for financial support. Enquire in your own country about possible scholarships within the context of cultural agreements.
In some cases, international students may be eligible for grants supplied by the Dutch government. These grants are provided via the ‘DUO-Informatie Beheer Groep’ (DUO-IBG), a centralized bureau that is responsible for all Dutch study grants. Please check their website for more information.
