Funding Your Studies
Although many students self-fund their studies with IHS, it is not always easy to manage the financial commitments required to study. For this reason, numerous IHS students study in Rotterdam through external funding and/or scholarships.
If you are interested in learning more about, and potentially applying for, a scholarship to fund your education you can find more information on the topic here.
One option that candidates who are looking at fellowship options for this course can apply to is the Netherlands Fellowship Programme(NFP), provided by the Dutch government.
Please note that the NFP is a very competitive fellowship programme and is awarded to a select group of highly motivated professionals.
Selection criteria of NFP:
The NFP programme is competitive and the selection of fellowship recipients involves the Dutch embassies in the various applicants’ countries. The individual Dutch embassy in each NFP country has its own focus area to support the development goals of the Netherlands in that country. Priority is given to candidates who are able to articulate effectively why and how their organization would benefit from their participation in this particular course at IHS and how this contributes to the Dutch ministerial priorities in development cooperation and the Dutch embassy’s priority areas.
Candidates can apply to the NFP after receiving an admission letter from the institute. In the event of the scholarship being awarded to a candidate, all the costs get covered under the fellowship including tuition fees, accommodation and living costs, travel, visa and insurance.
