The Erasmus Trustfonds-TSH Changemaker Scholarship supports underrepresented students to pursue a master programme at Erasmus University Rotterdam. The Erasmus Trustfonds scholarship covers the statutory tuition fee and a monthly living allowance of € 600. The TSH Changemaker Scholarship provides a one year housing in a Social Hub Residence. Non-EU/EEA citizens who qualify for the Institutional tuition fee will receive a partial tuition fee waiver from the school (if applicable). By combining tuition fee coverage, housing support, and access to a vibrant changemaker community, this scholarship empowers talented individuals to thrive academically, socially, and professionally. Awardees benefit from mentorship, training, and a lifelong network of changemakers committed to shaping inclusive and sustainable cities.
Due to the limited number of scholarships available, we cannot offer a scholarship for every research master’s programme at Erasmus MC. The programmes eligible for scholarships change each academic year.
