The Post Graduate Fellowship
An NFP fellowship for post graduate study in Netherlands (Holland) is intended to supplement the salary that the fellowship holder should continue to receive (at least partially) during the study period. The allowance is considered to be a contribution towards the cost of living for one person, whether in the Netherlands or in another country. It should be noted that NFP allowances are not sufficient to support family members, either in the home country or in the Netherlands. The fellowship can cover the costs of tuition fees, visas, travel, insurance and thesis research, as specified in the NFP booklet ‘Rules and regulations for fellowship holders’. Different conditions may apply to e-learning courses or e-learning programmes.
Application Procedure
To be eligible for an NFP fellowship, you need to be admitted to the master's degree programme for which you would like an NFP fellowship. You must apply for a course or programme on the NFP course list.
