NL Scholarship (for current students)

How to apply

1. Go to Osiris to apply for an exchange. You are automatically in the running for one of the NL Scholarships if your exchange is approved by your Faculty International Office and if you have been selected for an exchange at an institution which qualifies for a NL scholarship. 

Have you been selected by Student Life and International Mobilty for the NL Scholarship? Then you will automatically receive an email inviting you to complete an online grant application.

2. There is a link to a web form in the email with additional explanation about the grant application. Fill in the web form fully.

3. Roughly one working day after you have submitted the web form, we will send you an email containing the Grant Agreement and the Learning Agreement (for internship and study) or the Letter of Approval (for research). You should then send the following documents to studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl) no later than two weeks before your exchange is due to start:

• For internship, study and research abroad: the Grant Agreement, signed by you. Read that document carefully! It lists the conditions that have to be met for the grant application.
• For internship and study abroad: the Learning Agreement for study or Learning Agreement for Traineeship, signed by you, your host organisation and your faculty at Radboud University.

4. As soon as we've processed the documents, we'll send you an email about your application and whether it's been approved. It can take around 5 working days for your documents to be processed.

Changes to Your Stay Abroad

During your stay abroad your plans might change. You might have to change your courses or the duration of your stay. To do this, you will need to send a filled out change form signed by you, your host university and your faculty at Radboud University to studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl). This can be done at any time during your stay.

Completing Individual Travel Grant  

In order to complete your grant application, we would like to receive from you within one month of the end of your stay abroad, through studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl), the following documents:

After a study abroad:

• A statement form, filled in and signed. This document cannot be signed nor submitted more than one week before the end of your stay. You will receive the statement form by email a few weeks before the end of your stay.
• Your official transcript or records, as soon as you have received them from your host organisation.
• An online student report with photos of your experience. You will receive the link to this report by email a few weeks before the end of your stay.

After an internship abroad:

• A statement form, filled in and signed. This document cannot be signed nor submitted more than one week before the end of your stay. You will receive the statement form by email a few weeks before the end of your stay.
• An online student report with photos of your experience. You will receive the link to this report by email a few weeks before the end of your stay.

Important: these documents must be sent to studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl) no later than one month after the end of your exchange period.  If you decide to travel afterwards, you are still responsible for getting the documents submitted on time. We will view your documents and if you meet the conditions, any remaining part of the grant will be transferred to your account as soon as possible. We will send you an email as soon as your final settlement is being processed.

Premature termination of your stay abroad

If, due to special circumstances, you are obliged to cut short your stay abroad, through no fault of your own, please get in touch with us through: studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl)

Deadline

One unconditional requirement for a grant application is that it must be submitted in full online and the necessary documents sent to Student Life and International Mobility at least 2 weeks before departure. If this is not the case, you will not be eligible for the grant. If there is a special reason for the late application, get in touch with us by email to studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl). We will then discuss your situation and let you know whether the deadline can be extended. When the grant has been provisionally awarded, an advance of 75% of the total amount will be transferred to your bank account within roughly 4 weeks. You will receive the remainder after your stay abroad has ended, as soon as you have submitted the last documents and met all the conditions. If you don't meet all the conditions, you will have to repay the advance.
