About the Holland Scholarship
As part of the Holland Scholarship a total of 768 Dutch students will also receive a once-off scholarship of €1 250 to study, take up an internship or carry out research in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for a minimum of 3 months.
The programme has been made possible by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the VSNU (the Association of Universities in the Netherlands), the Netherlands Association of Universities of Applied Sciences and EP-Nuffic.
The drivers for the programme were the Joint International Vision document (drawn up by VSNU and the Netherlands Association of Universities of Applied Sciences) and the Internationalisation Vision Memorandum of the minister of education (June 2014). Forty-eight Dutch research universities and universities of applied sciences are taking part in the programme. They will also cover half of the costs involved.
The minister of higher education, Jet Bussemaker, said an international experience adds a great deal of value for students. “Leaving the comfort of your familiar surroundings behind for a while to study or do a work placement in a different culture and in a different environment is truly an enriching experience.”
Importance of Internationalisation
The Holland Scholarship programme enhances the quality of university education through the international classroom. At the same time, the programme helps to ensure that the Netherlands remains a great place to study.
The Holland Scholarship makes it easier for Dutch students to take up an internship or pursue part of their studies abroad. An international experience helps students develop international skills, which will give them greater opportunities on the job market when they graduate. And the students themselves often regard a period of time abroad as a life-changing experience.
