Scholarships and Financial aid available for
International Students in Netherlands
With the exception of
students from European Union member states wishing to
study certain subjects, foreign students are not
eligible for the student grants and loans that the
Dutch government provides for permanent residents.
There are, however, several possibilities for
obtaining funding.
The Dutch government is attempting to make Dutch
higher education as accessible as possible to students
and mid-career from other countries. Higher education
is subsidized, which means that tuition fees can be
kept relatively low, especially compared with
countries like the United Kingdom and the United
States.
Some Bachelor’s degree courses enjoy a partial
tuition waiver. Students enrolling in master’s
programs can sometimes apply for a scholarship. The
amount varies from one institution to the next. Most
scholarships are allocated before or at the time of
enrolment; a few must be applied for after the study
program begins.
If you are from an European Union member state,
however, you are fortunate because you may be entitled
to a regular student grant or to a refund of the
tuition fee.
