Under the VU Fellowship Program, gifted and deserving non-EU/EEA students have the exceptional opportunity to study for a Master’s degree at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUFP). VU Amsterdam has pledged to contribute around one million euros to attract talented and ambitious students. They offer English-taught Master’s Degree Programmes.

Holland Scholarship Program

When you apply for the VUFP scholarship, you also immediately apply for the HSP. No further application is necessary.
HSP is a contribution toward living costs. It is either 5.000 EUR or 10.000 EUR for the duration of your study time. Please take note:
The HSP grant is only offered for the first year of your academic program. Even if you are enrolled in a two-year program, your second year of study will disqualify you from the HSP scholarship.

There are approximately 20–25 HSP scholarships available. Few VUFP recipients will receive the HSP scholarship.
