The HAN Excellence and Holland Scholarship programme is jointly offered by HAN University of Applied Sciences (HAN-UAS) and the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
Scholarships are granted to international students from outside the European Economic Area (EEA)* enrolling for a Bachelors Course in the Netherlands. For the 2017-2018 academic year a total of 63 scholarships are available.
The scholarship amounts to a yearly award of € 2,500 - € 5,000 for the duration of a maximum study period of 4 years, under the condition that you show sufficient study progress (a minimum 75% of credit points achieved and a positive study advise). For the top 20 to 25 ranked applications, an additional amount of € 2,500 will be awarded in the first study year. The ranking is based on motivation, presentation, grades and English level.
You are allowed to use matching funds from other scholarships to cover the additional expenses of your study course.
*The EEA consists of the EU countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
