Brief description: Nuffic, during the Netherlands Scholarship Programme, give scholarships for a number of elected courses presented by institutions in the Netherlands. The courses lead to a Dutch certificate or a diploma and their duration varies from 2 weeks to 12 months.

Host Institution(s): Dutch Universities and Institutions.

Field(s) of study: NFP-qualified courses. Find a short course at this link then contact the Dutch higher education institution that proposes that course to find out whether it is NFP-qualified.

Target group: The NFP target group consists of professionals who are nationals of and work and live in an NFP country. The chances of obtaining an NFP scholarship increase if you live and work in Sub-Saharan Africa and/or if you are a woman.

Scholarship value/inclusions: An NFP fellowship is intended to supplement the salary that the fellow should continue to receive during the study period. The allowance is a contribution towards the costs of living, the costs of tuition fees, visas, travel, insurance and thesis research. If applicable, the fellowship holder is expected to cover the difference between the actual costs and the amount of the personal NFP allowances.

Eligibility: The NFP is meant for professionals who are nationals of and work and live in one of the 51 NFP countries. Applicants have to be nominated by their employer to be qualified for the fellowship. There also has to be a clear need for training within the context of the organisation.

Read the complete eligibility criteria at the administrator website. You must also meet the eligibility requirements of the programme you are applying for.

Application instructions: You need to submit an application directly with a Dutch higher education institution of your choice. Please contact the institution that proposes the NFP-qualified course of your choice to ask for the application procedure. Only the Dutch institution will give information about the programmes, selection criteria, application procedures and closing dates. Closing date varies depending on the course but is around March, July, or October 2016.
