Getting a scholarship or grant isn't a walk in the park and demands some dedication, but that's no reason to give up! We have compiled a comprehensive list of the scholarships and grants frequently used by our students. Take a look and seize the opportunity.

Financial aid that fits your situation

Who wish to study at Erasmus University Rotterdam or are already doing so.

For students who wish to go abroad during or after their study programme.

The EUR Emergency Fund is intended for students who, while enrolled at EUR, encounter financial difficulties due to special, unforeseen and temporary circumstances and can be assisted with a small financial support. By way of an example, the financial aid is not only intended for students who are experiencing financially adverse consequences from a war or natural disaster in their home country, as well as for students who find themselves in financial distress due to other acute personal circumstances. The financial aid is not intended to cover tuition fees or the cost of textbooks.

If you are not  eligible for a scholarship or a grant you can check the other options for financial aid. 

That depends on the scholarship. The scholarship may be a partial tuition fee waiver which means you still need to pay tuition fee. Please check the criteria of your scholarship carefully.

In a lot of cases you will receive the scholarship for only one year. Please check the scholarship criteria carefully to avoid unpleasant surprises. Think about ways to finance your 2nd and/or 3rd year in advance.

Preparing an application for a scholarship can be time consuming. Deadlines can be as early as January, so make sure to plan ahead. Start looking for scholarships 6-12 months in advance.

Most of the requirement apply to:
 

  1. Study results / being an excellent student;
  2. Being able to demonstrate your ambition;
  3. Level of study;
  4. Obtained diplomas;
  5. Country of origin.

Your chances are slim, meaning that most students won't gain a scholarship. There are hundreds of new students each year, but there is not an equal amount of scholarships available. But you never know, you might just be one of the lucky (chosen) ones. As long as you take into account that you may have to arrange financial aid in a different way, you're fine.

You can find information on scholarships here.

First, select on the Scholarships and grants page if you're a student planning to study at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) or whether you're already studying at EUR and thinking about going on exchange.

After selecting one of these options, you'll land on a page with a scholarship overview applicable to your situation.

In Holland, higher education is subsidized, which means that tuition fees can be kept relatively low, especially compared with the United Kingdom and the United States. Because of this, we do not have an extensive scholarship programme. This doesn't mean we don't have them at all though, so make sure to have a closer look.

Follow the application instructions on the scholarship detail page, by clicking on one of the scholarships in the overview table.
