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.

The allowance is a contribution towards the costs of living, the costs of tuition fees, visas, travel, insurance and thesis research.
