Radboud University Encouragement Scholarship for International Students 2024-2025
Radboud University wants to contribute to a healthy and free world with equal opportunities for all. We find it important to realise a diverse and inclusive campus for all our students and staff. In order to give all talented students the opportunity to become part of our academic community, including students from non-EU/EEA countries who might be financially struggling to pay the institutional Radboud University tuition fee, we offer a number of full scholarships.
- The scholarship also covers costs for visa, residence permit, health insurance and liability insurance for your stay in the Netherlands (Aon Student Insurance). You will find an indication for the costs of living and studying in the Netherlands on our website.
- In case you are selected as a scholarship recipient and you are admitted to a two-year Master’s programme, please note that in order to qualify for the grant again for the second year, you need to have passed all courses in the first year.
- The Radboud Encouragement Scholarship cannot be combined with a Fulbright-Radboud Scholarship or NL Scholarship. You can apply for more than one scholarship, but only one will be granted.
- You can only apply for either the Radboud Encouragement Scholarship or the partial Radboud Scholarship Programme. It is not possible to apply for both of these scholarships.
