Description
The NL Scholarship is financed by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and Hanze University of Applied Sciences. The scholarship is a contribution towards the costs of study. The NL Scholarship at Hanze is for talented international students from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) who want to obtain their master's degree at our university.
Benefits
The scholarship consists of a one-time payment of € 5,000. Selected students will receive this in the first year of studies in November.
The NL Scholarship cannot be used to reduce the tuition fee. However, a grant letter stating the amount of the scholarship can be used to reduce the total amount of the financial guarantee.
Please note that € 5,000 is only a small part of what is needed to be able to study at Hanze.
