Erasmus University NL Scholarship

The Erasmus University NL Scholarship is financed by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and Erasmus University Rotterdam. The scholarship is meant for international students from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) who want to do their bachelor’s or master’s in Holland. The EEA consists of the EU countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. 

The scholarship amounts range from €5.000 to €15.000 (to be determined by the faculty). The scholarship will be awarded in the first year of your studies. 

Due to the limited number of scholarships available, we cannot offer a scholarship for every research master’s programme at Erasmus MC. The programmes eligible for scholarships change each academic year.
