Foundation L-Earn for Impact is a pioneering educational program from FMO, the Dutch Development Bank. The program offers students from Erasmus University the opportunity to gain practical experience and develop valuable financial and legal skills in a “real world” context.
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.
