Brief description: The Netherlands Scholarship
Programmes (NFP) promotes ability building within organisations in 51 countries
by providing scholarships for teaching and education for professionals. The
NFP proposes scholarships for experienced Master studies, PhD studies, or short courses presented at
participating Dutch Universities.
Host Institution(s): Dutch Universities
that offer NFP skilled programmes/courses.
Level/Field(s) of study: NFP-qualified
Masters Programme, PhD programmes or Short Courses. Find a course/programme at
this link then contact the Dutch higher education institution that proposes that course to get out
whether it is NFP-skilled.
Target group: The NFP is intended
for professionals who are nationals of and work and live in one of the 51 NFP countries. The chances of obtaining an NFP fellowship
increase if you live and work in Sub-Saharan Africa and/or if you are a woman.
Scholarship value/inclusions: An
NFP scholarship is proposed 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 scholarship holder is projected
to cover the difference between the actual costs and the amount of the personal
NFP allowances.
Eligibility: To be qualified you:
• must be a national
of, and working and living in one of the countries on the NFP country list;
• must have an
employer’s statement that complies with the format EP-Nuffic has provided. All
information must be provided and all commitments that are included in the
format must be endorsed in the statement;
• must not be employed
by an organisation that has its own means of staff-development. Organisations
that are measured to have their own means for staff development are for
example:
– multinational
corporations (e.g. Shell, Unilever, Microsoft),

and/or a large commercial organisations,
– bilateral donor
organisations (e.g. USAID, DFID, Danida, Sida, Dutch ministry of Foreign
affairs, FinAid, AusAid, ADC, SwissAid),
– multilateral donor
organisations, (e.g. a UN organisation, the World Bank, the IMF, Asian
Development Bank, African Development Bank, IADB),

• must have an

• must not receive
more than one scholarship for courses that take place at the same time;
