Grants, scholarships, fellowships
Erasmus University Rotterdam itself does not offer grants or scholarships to international students. However, there are several other possibilities for obtaining a grant or scholarship. Please contact the relevant authority in your home country for financial support of your studies abroad, and research the following options:
- your home institution
- government agencies in your home country
- international organisations (e.g. UN, World Bank, OECD, etc.)
Some grants or scholarships are specific for your study programme or field of study. Have a look at your faculty’s website to see what the possibilities are.
Dutch students and other European students might also be entitled to a grant from DUO (Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs = Education Executive Agency). Please check the DUO wizard to see if you’re eligible for a grant.
