• Your study results are very good and you are strongly motivated to start the program;
• You are considered to be a high achieving student according to Erasmus MC’s standards;
• You are unable to finance your study yourself;
• You have not obtained a diploma at an education institution in the Netherlands;
• You have never been enrolled as a full-degree student at an educational institution in the Netherlands;

Non-EEA

€ 15,000 to subsidize housing, living costs and the statutory part of the tuition fee. The statutory fee for 2023-2024 is €2314. For the rest of the Non-EEA institutional fee (€20000 - €2314 = €17686) you will receive a tuition waiver for 70%, so you will still have to pay €5305.80 tuition. The grant will be paid in monthly installments  (first month €2350, following months €1150). The scholarship is granted for one year, and will be continued for the second year if you successfully complete your first year.

How to apply

You can apply by sending a letter of motivation, your CV plus grades list, and a budget plan in one pdf to internationaloffice@erasmusmc.nl. Please use the following file name:  <Name of research master (Last Name, First Name).pdf>.

The budget plan should consist of an overview of all (expected) income and expenses, including tuition fee (taking the tuition waiver for 70% of the institutional tuition fee into account).

Applications for the 2023-2024 academic year can be submitted until April 15, 2023. Students who have been granted a scholarship will be informed via email no later than the end of May 2023.
