The Radboud Scholarship Programme is an exceptionally competitive initiative, targeting exceptionally talented and motivated non-EEA students with exceptional academic achievements. This program provides a chance for eligible individuals to receive a scholarship covering the entire tuition for an English-taught Master’s program at Radboud University.
The funding for this scholarship is sourced from Radboud University’s Profiling Fund, and consequently, the eligibility criteria align with the regulations set forth by the Profiling Fund.
Scholarship Summary
Scholarship Details:
If you are chosen as a scholarship recipient and gain admission to a two-year Master’s program, meeting the requirement to qualify for the grant in the second year involves successfully completing all courses in the first year.
It’s important to note that the Radboud Scholarship is not compatible with the Radboud Encouragement Scholarship or Fulbright-Radboud Scholarship. While you may be eligible to apply for multiple scholarships, only one will be awarded. However, it’s crucial to understand that you cannot simultaneously apply for both the Radboud Scholarship Programme and the Radboud Encouragement Scholarship; you can only submit an application for one of these two.
On a positive note, the Radboud Scholarship can be combined with the NL Scholarship. If you wish to learn more about the NL Scholarship and the application process, please refer to this webpage for additional information.
Scholarship Requirements:
You will only be eligible to apply for a Radboud Scholarship if you:
- hold a non-EU/non-EEA passport.
- are not eligible for the lower EU/EEA tuition fee for other reasons.
- have (will obtain) a Bachelor’s degree achieved outside the Netherlands, have no degrees achieved in the Netherlands and did not receive any previous education in the Netherlands (exchange programmes excluded, provided that they are part of the Bachelor’s degree achieved outside the Netherlands).
- meet the English language proficiency requirement for the Master’s programme of your choice.
- have been fully admitted to the English-taught Master’s programme starting 1 September 2024 as stated in the formal letter of admission.
- are able to comply with the conditions for obtaining a visa for the Netherlands.
- are enrolled at Radboud University as a full-time student for the academic year and Master’s programme for which the scholarship will be awarded.
Scholarship Duration and Reward
A Radboud Scholarship will reduce your tuition fee to €2.530,-. For example: a grant holder in 2024/2025 will pay a tuition fee of only €2.530,- instead of €17,000. The scholarship also covers costs for visa, residence permit, health insurance and liability insurance for your stay in the Netherlands (Aon Student Insurance). The costs of living and studying in the Netherlands are not covered by the scholarship.
Required Documents
To apply, candidates must be ready to submit the following documents;
- Academic transcripts.
- Passport details.
- Detailed CV or resume.
- Letter of motivation.
- Two letters of reference.
Method of Application
You can apply by indicating during your application for admission for a Master’s programme in the OSIRIS Application system that you wish to apply for a Radboud Scholarship. You will then be requested to upload three additional documents: two reference letters and a curriculum vitae. If you already uploaded these documents for the Master’s programme application, you can upload the same documents again for your scholarship application.
The selection for the scholarship and the admission to the Master’s programme are two separate processes: admission to the Master’s programme does not imply selection for the scholarship.
Deadline: January 31, 2024
