Dear friends and colleagues in Vietnam,
For everybody who is interested to study at ITC in course year 2009-2010 it is time to start thinking about the application procedure.
Fellowships for many of ITC's study programmes are available from NUFFIC under the Netherlands fellowship programme (NFP) , although we must point out that each year the competition for this is substantial and relatively few awards are available. The application for the NFP fellowships needs to be made via the Netherlands Embassy, from where an application form may be obtained. The form may also be obtained from the NUFFIC website, which also gives information on the deadlines for submitting the application (this is often more than six months before the commencement of the course). http://www.nuffic.nl/international-organizations/services/capacity-building/nfp/nfp-introduction
The eligibility criteria for NFP fellowships can be more stringent than the entry qualifications for the study programme (a minimum of two years professional experience is required). We strongly advise candidates to look for multiple sponsorship possibilities (i.e. do not just apply to NFP). It may be worth considering an application to the World Bank Fellowship programme, although you should pay special attention to the eligibility requirements stated. http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/WBI/EXTWBISFP/0,,menuPK:551559~pagePK:64168427~piPK:64168435~theSitePK:551553,00.html
Please find below some additional information and please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any further questions. You may also contact Mr. Tran Nhu Trung, ITC alumnus ( trannh...@gmail.com).
Kind regards,
Marjan

To do this, candidates must complete an NFP application form, which can be obtained from the Dutch embassy or consulate and/or downloaded from the NUFFIC website (http://www.nuffic.nl/nfp/). Candidates should submit it, together with all the required documents and information to the Dutch embassy or consulate in their own country.
