Radboud Scholarship Programme
The Radboud Scholarship Programme offers a selected number of talented prospective non-EEA students the opportunity to receive a scholarship to pursue an English-taught Master’s degree programme at Radboud University Nijmegen.
The Radboud Scholarship Programme is very selective and is only intended for talented students who have obtained outstanding study results and are highly motivated to pursue a Master’s degree programme at RadboudUniversity.
Radboud Scholarship
Each year 20 Radboud Scholarships are awarded to selected talented non-EEA students for the duration of a Master’s degree programme. This means that the duration of the scholarship can vary: a one-year scholarship for a one-year programme and a two-year scholarship for a two-year programme. Selected scholarship receivers will not receive a grant as such: they will have to pay the regular tuition fee for EEA students: in 2009-2010 a tuition fee of €1,620 instead of €6,125, €8,165 or €12,245 depending on the Master’s programme they are applying for. The Radboud Scholarship also covers additional costs for non-EEA students such as costs for visa, residence permit and health and liability insurance.

Candidates who want to become eligible for a scholarship under the Radboud Scholarship Programme must meet the requirements for eligibility. This means that applicants should:
1. hold a non-EU/EEA passport and should not be eligible for the lower tuition fee.
