NL Scholarships for Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Study in the Netherlands
The NL Scholarship is meant to assist international students from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) who want to complete a bachelor’s or master’s degree at a participating university in the Netherlands. Citizens of all Arab countries are eligible to apply.
Please note that this is not a full-tuition scholarship. The grant amount is € 5,000, which is awarded for one year and can be received only once. The full cost of study for non-EEA students varies by programme. You can check the fees for various master’s and bachelor’s degree programmes here, or on your chosen university’s website.
The NL Scholarship (formerly known as the Holland Scholarship) is an initiative of Nuffic, the Dutch organisation for internationalisation in education. The scholarship is financed by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, and the participating universities (see lists on this page).
