Radboud Scholarship Programme

Radboud Scholarship Programme

Level and duration of the scholarship:

• The scholarship will only be awarded for the first year of your Bachelor's programme. The scholarship is not an amount of money that you will receive in your bank account, but consists of a partial tuition waiver. The tuition fee of the first year will be waived to the level of an EU/EEA student. For example: a grant holder in 2016/2017 will pay a tuition fee of only 1,984 Euros, instead of 6,817 Euros. This means you will have to pay the full amount of the tuition fee for the second and third year of your Bachelor's programme. In addition, the Radboud Scholarship also covers costs for health and liability insurance for one year and costs for visa and residence permit. The latter will be valid for all three years of your Bachelor's programme.

Selection criteria:
The selection process will take place at the faculty. From the eligible candidates the Radboud Scholarship recipients will be selected based on the following criteria:

• the student's talent and qualifications
• the student shows promise and motivation

Application procedure and documents required:

• You need to submit a request for enrolment in the Bachelor's programme of your choice on Studielink.nl. Check on the Bachelor's programme website (see links on this page) what the other instructions and requirements are. From Studielink you will be directed to another system called OSIRIS Application.
