The University of Groningen is committed to recognizing excellence in academic achievement by offering a number of scholarships for international students and researchers. Higher education in the Netherlands is subsidized to uphold high academic standards, meaning tuition fees are relatively low, and the cost of living is modest compared with cities like New York, Paris, London, and Beijing.
Several scholarships are available for international students who are motivated to study Bachelor's programmes, Master's programmes, or PhD programmes, as well as for an exchange period at the university. Applicants to programmes with Erasmus Mundus status can apply for scholarships awarded by the EU.
Additional funding opportunities are offered by the Dutch government, and staff members of organizations in developing countries can apply for NFP scholarships. Detailed information for prospective applicants is managed through the university student portal and admissions office.
