Scholarships are made available by the Maastricht
University Scholarship Fund in order to encourage talented students from
outside the EU/EEA to follow a Master's programme at Maastricht University.
One of these scholarships is the Maastricht
University High Potential scholarship.
Eligibility
Applicants must be admissible
for a master’s programme or graduate programme for
professionals at Maastricht University and must not be older

for a master's programme and this scholarship.
Scholarship applicants must have obtained excellent
results in their previous studies. This must be shown in the application
file by including, for example, grade lists or reference letters. In case of
equivalent qualification, preference will be given to applications, which show
that the applicant is among the top 5%.
Applicants must come from a country outside
the EU/EEA and meet the requirements for obtaining an entry visa and
residence permit for the Netherlands.

The High Potential scholarship is awarded for the
duration of the Master's programme, with a maximum of 12 months. In
