Radboud Scholarship Programme

About this scholarship

The Radboud Scholarship Programme offers talented, highly motivated non-EEA students the chance to study a full English-taught master's programme at Radboud University in the Netherlands at a greatly reduced cost. Rather than a cash stipend, the scholarship sharply reduces the tuition fee — to €2,694 for 2026/2027, instead of the standard fee of up to around €18,000 depending on the programme — and additionally covers the costs of a visa, residence permit, and health and liability insurance (via Aon Student Insurance) for the stay in the Netherlands. Living and study costs are not covered, so recipients must be able to fund those themselves. Almost all English-taught Radboud master's programmes are eligible, with the exception of Erasmus Mundus and joint-degree programmes. To be eligible, you must have (or be completing) a bachelor's degree earned outside the Netherlands, have no prior Dutch degrees or education, and meet the English-language requirement. You apply by indicating your interest in the Radboud Scholarship during your master's admission application in the OSIRIS system and uploading two reference letters and a CV.
