International students are eligible for more than 25 university-wide scholarships.
According to what the name suggests, university-wide scholarships are scholarships that are normally accessible for any topic, course, or area of study that is offered at the university. These scholarships often cover all or the majority of the courses that are provided by the university, but there may be certain exclusions (for example, studies in medicine, dentistry, law, or master’s degree programs).
Non-EU/EEA students in the Netherlands may get NL Scholarships.
With funding from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science, the NL Scholarships, which were formerly known as the Holland Scholarship, are designed to provide financial assistance to international students from countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (EEA) who are interested in pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree at one of the Dutch research universities or universities of applied sciences in Holland. There will be a scholarship of €5,000 awarded.
Danish government scholarships for non-EU/EEA students
In order to provide financial assistance to foreign students from countries outside of the European Union and the European Economic Area who are highly qualified and motivated and who intend to pursue full degree higher education programs at Danish universities that are participating in the program, the Danish Ministry of Education offers a number of scholarships each year. In addition to providing grants to help pay your living expenses, the scholarship may also be awarded in the form of full or partial exemptions of tuition fees.
