About the Radboud Scholarship Programme

The Radboud Scholarship Programme offers a select 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. 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.

Scope of the scholarships

Each year about 30 Radboud Scholarships are awarded to selected talented non-EEA students for the duration of one of the Master’s degree programmes listed below:

* The specialisation Transnational Ecosystem-based Water Management within the Master’s programme in Biology is NOT eligible for this scholarship.

Level and duration of the scholarship

The scholarship will be used to reduce your tuition fee to € 2,078 and pays for costs for visa and insurance. For example: a grant holder in 2019/2020 will pay a tuition fee of only €2,083, instead of €11,466 or €12,640. In addition the Radboud Scholarship also covers costs such as those for visa, residence permit, health insurance and liability insurance (Aon Student Insurance). The Radboud Scholarship is not a full scholarship and does not include living costs. You can find an indication of what international students should count on spending for one year of living and studying in the Netherlands, on the university website.

In the 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.
