Description
The PPE scholarship programme offers scholarships to 8 of its incoming students, aiming to increase the diversity of the programme.
The main aim of the scholarships is to create a diverse and inclusive student community in the PPE programme. Diversity is defined as the inclusion of a variety of different types of students, such as, but not exclusively, students of different nationalities and of different socio-economic or cultural backgrounds.
The scholarship will be awarded conditionally for the official duration of the PPE programme. Scholarship for the 2nd and 3rd of the PPE programme year will be awarded to students who received the scholarship for the 1st year of the PPE programme and who are making satisfactory progress towards the degree according to UU standards.
Benefits
The amount of the PPE scholarship is subject to slight changes. The PPE Scholarship will consist of €1,750 for the academic year.
Eligibility
Students are eligible for a scholarship on the basis of the following criteria:
- The student has applied for a scholarship before the application deadline;
- The student holds citizenship of the Netherlands or of another EU/EER country;
- The student has uploaded documentation that allows the Board of Admission to review the application with a focus on:
- The student’s impression of the field of study and career perspectives;
- The student’s societal engagement;
- The student’s added value to the diversity of the cohort, as a representative of an underrepresented group (e.g., but not exclusively, nationality, socio-economic and cultural background).
Admitted students will be informed if they have been awarded a scholarship in their admission letter.
