Always confirm the deadline and eligibility on the official page before applying.

Eligibility

Non-EEA nationality; applying to a full-time bachelor's or master's at a participating Dutch institution; no prior degree from a Dutch institution. Deadlines differ by institution, so confirm on the official site and your chosen university's page.

How to apply

  1. Read the eligibility rules on the official page: nationality, degree level, subject, age, minimum CGPA and any test scores (IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GAT or HAT).
  2. Make a document checklist early: transcripts, degree, passport or CNIC, test results, a statement of purpose and usually two or three recommendation letters.
  3. Ask your referees at least three weeks before the deadline, and send them your CV and a short note on what to mention.
  4. Write the statement of purpose for this scholarship: your goal, why this programme, and what you will do afterwards.
  5. Submit through the official portal only. Scholarships never require you to pay an agent to “guarantee” selection.
