Scholarship for non-EU/EER students
The Knowledge Grant(*) is an allowance awarded on a year-by-year basis, which promotes the enrolment of high-quality international degree students. A high-quality student is a student that completes their programme at Inholland University of Applied Sciences within the nominal study duration (thus, attaining 60 EC credits per year, not including exemptions).
(*) Subject to change and no rights can be derived from this page.
Eligible international students are those students who at least meet the following basic criteria:
enrolled for a full-time programme at Inholland University of Applied Sciences for the first time and also arrange to re-enrol in the subsequent years;
are not nationals of the EEA, Surinam or Switzerland;
required to pay the institutional tuition fees, and
started their programme in or after the academic year 2018 – 2019 (Please note: different criteria and allowances may apply depending on the start year of your degree)
Students who receive a Holland Scholarship are not eligible for a Knowledge Grant in that year.
For the academic year 2022-2023 it will be mandatory again to fill out an online application form to be considered for the 2022-23 Knowledge Grant. Since academic year 2020-2021, a new procedure for application is in place. The online application form can be found in the Student Self Service portal after login (under Scholarships), in due course. All possibly eligible students will also receive information by e-mail. The application deadline will be 31 August 2023.
