Overview

The Radboud Scholarship Programme is a highly competitive opportunity for talented and motivated non-EEA students with exceptional academic achievements. It offers the chance to receive a scholarship for a full English-taught Master’s programme at Radboud University.

Program Details
The scholarship significantly reduces the tuition fee to €2,601. For example, a scholarship recipient in 2025/2026 will only pay €2,601 instead of the regular €18,000. In addition to the reduced tuition, the scholarship covers the costs for visa, residence permit, health insurance, and liability insurance through Aon Student Insurance. However, living and study expenses in the Netherlands are not included in the scholarship.

For the 2025/2026 academic year, a total of 18 scholarships will be awarded across various faculties:

• Faculty of Arts (3)
• Faculty of Law (3)
• Nijmegen School of Management (3)
• Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies (1)
• Faculty of Science (4)
• Faculty of Social Sciences (4)

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible for the Radboud Scholarship, you must meet the following requirements:

• Non-EEA Citizenship: You must hold a passport from a non-EU/EEA country.
• No Previous Education in the Netherlands: You should have obtained a bachelor’s degree outside the Netherlands and must not have received prior education in the Netherlands (excluding exchange programmes that were part of a bachelor's degree achieved outside the Netherlands).
• English Language Proficiency: You must meet the English language proficiency requirements for the master’s programme you wish to apply for.
• Full Admission: You must be fully admitted to an English-taught master's programme at Radboud University, starting in September 2025, as confirmed by the formal letter of admission.
• Visa Compliance: You must be able to meet the requirements for obtaining a visa for the Netherlands.
• Full-Time Enrollment: You must be enrolled as a full-time student for the master’s programme in which the scholarship will be awarded.

Additionally, if you are admitted to a two-year master's programme, you must pass all courses in the first year to be eligible for the scholarship for the second year.

Application Procedure

The application process for the Radboud Scholarship involves two separate stages: admission to the master's programme and scholarship selection. Follow these steps to apply:

1. Admission Application: First, submit your application for admission to the English-taught master’s programme of your choice via the OSIRIS Application system.

2. Scholarship Application: During the admission process, indicate that you wish to apply for the Radboud Scholarship.

3. Additional Documents: You will be asked to submit three additional documents for the scholarship application:

   • Two reference letters
   • Curriculum Vitae (CV)

   If you have already uploaded these documents for your master's programme application, you can submit the same documents for the scholarship application.

4. Separate Processes: Keep in mind that the scholarship selection is independent of the admission process. Admission to the master’s programme does not guarantee selection for the scholarship.

What Financial Support is Available?

• 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).
