Masters (Science, Arts and Engineering) – Radboud Scholarships for international students, Netherlands (2015)

Scope of the scholarships

Level and duration of the scholarship

The scholarship is not an amount of money that you will receive in your bank account, but consists of a partial tuition waiver. The tuition fee will be waived to the level of an EEA student. For example: a grant holder in 2015/2016 will pay a tuition fee of only €1,951, instead of €9,685 or €10,633. In addition the Radboud Scholarship also covers costs such as those for visa, residence permit, health insurance and liability insurance. This amounts to about €700.

In the case of a two-year programme: to qualify for the grant during the second year, you need to have passed all courses in the first year.
