Netherlands Master Scholarships in Business Administration and Management

Overview

The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP) are designed to promote capacity building within organisations in 61 countries by providing training and education to mid-career staff. The NFP is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the budget for development cooperation. The overall aim of the NFP is to help alleviate qualitative and quantitative shortages of skilled manpower within a wide range of governmental, private and non-governmental organisations. This is done by offering fellowships to mid-career professionals to improve the capacity of their employing organisations.

The Dutch higher education institutions offer many international master’s degree programmes. The Dutch Scholarships allow candidates to receive a postgraduate education and earn one of the following Dutch degrees: Master of Arts, Master of Science, or a Professional Master’s degree

The allowance is considered to be a contribution towards the cost of living for one person, whether in the Netherlands or in another country. The fellowship can cover the costs of tuition fees, visas, travel,
