What scholarships are available for international students?

The University of Groningen offers several scholarships, such as the Holland Scholarship and the Talent Grant for specific faculties, for excellent international students from outside the EU/EEA. The most prestigious is the University of Groningen Scholarship Programme (UGS). You apply for these directly through the university.

When should I apply for scholarships?

Deadlines for scholarships are often early, typically around 1 May or 22 March for the following academic year. It is crucial to check the specific deadline for each scholarship on the university's website as soon as you decide to apply, as they are strict and non-negotiable.

Are there any full-ride scholarships that cover all costs?

While the University of Groningen Scholarship and others offer substantial amounts, they are rarely "full-ride" scholarships that cover both tuition and full living expenses. Students are expected to cover the remaining costs themselves, so it is important to have a solid financial plan.
