ELIGIBILITY:

You hold a non- EU/ EEA passport and you are not eligible for the lower tuition fee.

You do not have the Dutch nationality.

You can prove your academic excellence (GPA equivalent to a Dutch 8).

You are conditionally or unconditionally admitted to the first year of a full-time English-taught Master’s programme at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam starting per September 2024. Please note that:

students starting in February cannot apply,

joint programmes where VU Amsterdam does not administer the admission process are excluded from VUFP.

The degree with which you are seeking admission has not been obtained in the Netherlands.

You do not need to complete a preparatory programme before the start of your Master.

The VUFP scholarship can be granted for a one or two-year Master’s programme. The scholarship will only be extended for the second year of a two-year Master’s programme if 100% of the ECTS of the first year have been achieved.

Students already enrolled in a two-year Master’s programme who have not been awarded the VUFP scholarship in 2023/2024 are not eligible to apply for the VUFP scholarship for 2024/2025.

BENEFIT:

The VUFP scholarship covers the tuition fees only. It does not provide any additional allowance towards study or living costs, like rent, food, insurances. Be aware that you must be able to finance these living expenses by yourself.
