Being a student costs money. After admission to a Bachelor's, you need to make sure you can finance your studies.
There are different types of financial aid available.
- For international students: if you are not a Dutch national but you are living in the Netherlands, it is possible to qualify for Dutch student finance in certain situations, depending on your residence permit or nationality. Read more information about Dutch student finance.
- For Dutch students: if you are a Dutch national and if you are under the age of thirty you may qualify for student finance.
- Scholarships: The University of Twente offers outstanding students the opportunity to pursue a bachelor’s degree with a scholarship. These scholarships range from government grants to funding provided by organisations or private individuals.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
For most scholarships, you need to have fully completed the application process for your chosen bachelor's before applying. Due to strict deadlines, you are required to apply for admission to the bachelor's programme at least two months before the scholarship deadline.
Tip: It is recommended to send out multiple funding applications.
Start by gathering information from your own Ministry of Education or Department of Education as they may have details about a scholarship or bursary opportunities for students wishing to study overseas. Nuffic, the Dutch organisation for internationalisation in education, can provide you with a basic guide for possible sources of funding for international students who wish to study in the Netherlands. On the website of Study in NL, you will find more sources of funding for studying here.
