How to apply

  1. Start your application for a study abroad placement in your Osiris account. Once this application has been granted in full or part by your faculty’s International Office, you will automatically receive an email that contains further instructions for your grant application. 
  2. The email with further instructions for the grant application also contains a link to an online form. Complete the online form and then click ‘Submit’.
  3. Once you have submitted this online form, you will receive an email with the Grant Agreement and the Letter of Approval; you should receive this email after about one working day. You will then need to send the following documents to studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl) at least two weeks before the start of your student exchange:
    • The Grant Agreement, which should include your signature. Read this document carefully: it contains the conditions of your grant application.
    • A completed and signed Letter of Approval from your faculty’s International Office, which explains the relevance of the project to your studies.
  4. As soon as we have processed the documents, we will send you an email about your application and your potential grant. It may take approximately five working days for your documents to be processed.

How to complete your application

Once your study abroad placement has ended, we would like to receive the following documents within one month of the last day of your placement via studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl):

  • A certificate of participation
  • An online student report that includes photos from your time abroad. You will receive the link to this report via email a few weeks before the end of your placement.

If you are subsequently planning to go travelling, it is your responsibility to make sure that these documents are submitted on time. We will review your documents and, if you meet the conditions, we will transfer the remaining grant amount (if any) as soon as possible. You will receive an email once your payment has been settled.

Cutting short your short stay

If you need to cut short your study abroad placement due to exceptional circumstances, please contact us at the following email address: studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl).

Deadline

A strict requirement of a grant application is that it must be submitted in full online at least two weeks before the applicant’s departure; the necessary documents will also need to have been sent to Student Life and International Mobility. If this requirement has not been met, you will not be eligible for the grant. If there is a particular reason for your late application, please let us know by sending an email to studentexchange [at] ru.nl (studentexchange[at]ru[dot]nl). We will then discuss your situation and subsequently notify you about whether the deadline can be delayed.

Selection procedure

Applications will be processed in order of receipt. You will therefore need to make sure that you submit your application on time.
