Extended collaboration Stichting voor Vluchteling-Studenten UAF

The collaboration with the Foundation for Refugee Students (Stichting Vluchteling-Studenten UAF) has been extended. This means that more refugees can study at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Student Hafsa (21 years old and status holder) is studying medicine at EUR thanks to the program. Four and a half years ago she fled from Turkey in her exam year because it was no longer safe for her and her family. She applied for asylum in the Netherlands for political protection.
