Preference will be given to those who have not yet had the opportunity to study in the UK and NL.

Each scholarship will cover tuition, accommodation, maintenance cost and a return airfare for the scholarship holder only.

Please note that an applicant must have met all the conditions for academic entry, including the university’s English language requirements before they can compete for a scholarship.
