Radboud University
Located in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Radboud University is a public research institution. The institution is named for the Dutch bishop Saint Radboud, who lived in the ninth century and was renowned for his intelligence and assistance to the poor. Four significant university rating tables have continuously ranked Radboud University, which was founded in 1923, among the top 150 universities in the world.
Benefits of the Radboud Scholarship Program
With a Radboud Scholarship, your tuition will only be €2.530. For example, a grant recipient in 2024–2025 will only have to pay €2.530 toward tuition—instead of €17,000—in tuition. During your time in the Netherlands, the scholarship also pays for your health insurance, liability insurance, residence permit, and visa (Aon Student Insurance). The scholarship does not pay for living or educational expenses while studying in the Netherlands. The Radboud Scholarship can be combined with the NL Scholarship.

NL Scholarships
For foreign students wishing to pursue a master’s degree in the Netherlands but are not citizens of the European Economic Area (EEA), there is the NL Scholarship, formerly known as the Holland Scholarship. The scholarship enables deserving students to attend Radboud University. Radboud University and the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science are co-financiers of this NL Scholarship (NLS).
There will always be a combination between the Radboud Scholarship Programme (RSP) and the NL Scholarship (NLS). This implies that applicants for the NLS must simultaneously submit an application for the RSP. Either the RSP alone or both the NLS and RSP may be given to you. You cannot only receive the NLS. It is not possible to combine this grant with the Radboud Encouragement grant. The scholarship has a €5,000 value. The grant is awarded for 1 year and can only be received once. This will be given to you throughout the first year of your course of study.
For the 2024–2025 academic year, Radboud University will offer up to 12 scholarships.
More details about NL Scholarships can be found here.
