The Holland Scholarship is financed by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and Dutch research universities and universities of applied sciences. The scholarship is meant for international students from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) who want to do their Master’s in Holland. The EEA consists of the EU countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
Scholarship amount and conditions
The Erasmus University Holland Scholarship amount of € 10.000 is split into two parts: € 5.000 is used to reduce the tuition fee, and the student will receive the other € 5.000 through 10 monthly payments.
