Conditions

Conditions:

  • You are enrolled at Radboud University as a full-time bachelor or Master's student.
  • You're going to stay abroad for a period of at least 7 weeks for a study-exchange you will be taking subjects equivalent to a minimum of 10 ECTS at your host organisation. However, this means that at most universities, you will have to take classes for a full semester. In addition, your faculty/study programme may require you to gain more ECTS during that semester.
  • During your current study cycle, you have not already received any Holland Scholarship or Individual Travel Grant for studies, internship (medical) or research.
  • You have been selected for an exchange programme at one of our partner universities.
  • You have submitted  your online application and your Learning Agreement and Grant Agreement (fully completed and signed) to studentexchange [at] ru.nl no later than two weeks before your exchange is due to start.

Important: if you are going for a whole semester on exchange to an exchange partner that is not a Radboud-wide partner outside the EER, but a faculty exchange partner, you will not be eligible for Holland Scholarship. You will receive and invitation to apply for the Individual Travel Grant.  Unfortunately, you cannot combine a Holland Scholarship with an Individual Travel Grant. If you have any other questions about this, please get in touch with studentexchange [at] ru.nl. If there is an Erasmus+ grant available for your specific destination outside Europe, the Erasmus+ grant takes priority over the Holland Scholarship. In that case, someone will get in touch with you.
