Description

VU University Amsterdam offers fellowships to outstanding non-Dutch students who take part in its International Master’s degree programmes, through the VU fellowship programme (VUFP). The VU Fellowship Programme (VUFP) is a highly selective scholarship for students who have excellent study results and are strongly motivated. There is a limited number of fellowships available for the 2012/2013 academic year.

At the VU Fellowship Programme can apply international students enrolling in preselected master’s degree programmes at VU University starting September 2012 and international students enrolling in the bachelor’s degree programme International Business Administration, starting September 2012.
Selected students will receive a scholarship for the duration of the degree programme. However, the scholarship will only be renewed if the student is making satisfactory progress towards the degree.
