[Netherlands] International Students Scholarship - HSP Huygens Programme
The prestigious HSP Huygens programme is open to excellent students from all countries of the world. It is aimed at talented students who want to come to the Netherlands in the final phase of their bachelor’s studies or during their master’s studies. PhD applications can only be accepted from excellent students from Croatia, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.
The minister has reserved part of the total budget for excellent students following programmes in Dutch language and literature, so called Neerlandistiek. The candidates of Neerlandistiek must meet the same criteria as all other candidates.
The Dutch Minister for Education, Culture and Science has made four million euros available for international excellent students coming to the Netherlands under the HSP Huygens programme. There is no fixed number of available scholarships, but the actual number is determined by the total cost of the variable components of the scholarships.
Applications for the 2007-2008 academic year must be received by Nuffic by 1 February 2007 at the latest. The starting date of the HSP scholarship is September 1th, 2007. (The full text of the rules and regulation of the Huygens Scholarship Programme, including explanatory notes, are available here.)
