Description

The Radboud Scholarship Programme is a very selective scholarship programme.

It offers talented, highly motivated, non-EEA students with outstanding study results the opportunity to be awarded a scholarship for a complete English-taught Radboud University Master’s degree programme.

Each year, a number of partial scholarships are awarded within the Radboud Scholarship Programme for the duration of one of the English taught Master's degree programmes (with the exception of Erasmus Mundus Master's programmes and joint-degree Master's programmes).

Applicable programmes

Benefits

A Radboud Scholarship will reduce your tuition fee to €2,601.-. For example: a grant holder in 2025/2026 will pay a tuition fee of only €2,601.- instead of €18,000.

The scholarship also covers costs for visa, residence permit, health insurance and liability insurance for your stay in the Netherlands (Aon Student Insurance).

  • hold a non-EU/non-EEA passport;
  • are not eligible for the lower EU/EEA tuition fee for other reasons;

Application

Application deadline

31 Jan 2026

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.

You must have completed your application in the online OSIRIS Application system on 31 January 23:59 CEST at the latest.
