Scholarship: not specified

Description

The Radboud Scholarship Programme offers a selected number of talented prospective non-EEA students the opportunity to receive a scholarship to pursue a complete English-taught Master’s degree programme at Radboud University Nijmegen (of one or two whole years). The Radboud Scholarship Programme is very selective and is only intended for talented students who have obtained outstanding study results and are highly motivated to pursue a Master’s degree programme at Radboud University.

Eligibility

Candidates who want to become eligible for a Radboud Scholarship must meet the requirements for eligibility. This means that applicants should:
1. hold a non-EU/EEA passport and should not already be eligible for the lower EEA tuition fee.
2. have been fully admitted to the English-taught Master’s degree programme by the Student Affairs Office as stated in the formal letter of admission on behalf of the Executive Board.
3. be able to comply with the conditions for obtaining a visa for the Netherlands.
4. have been enrolled at Radboud University as a full-time student for the academic year and Master’s degree programme for which the scholarship will be awarded

Scholarship

Each year 20 Radboud Scholarships are awarded to selected talented non-EEA students for the duration of a Master’s degree programme. This means that the duration of the scholarship can vary: a one-year scholarship for a one-year programme and a two-year scholarship for a two-year programme.
The scholarship is not an amount of money that you will receive on your bank account but consists of a partial tuition waiver. The tuition fee will be waived to the level of an EEA student. Example: a grant holder in 2012/2013 pays a tuition fee of only  € 1,771,  instead of € 9,100, € 10,200 or € 16,450. In addition the Radboud Scholarship also covers costs such as for visa, residence permit,  health insurance and liability insurance.
In 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.
