VSBfonds annually awards scholarships to students who wish to do a complete study programme abroad, after they have finished their study programme at Radboud University.
You personally choose the educational institute abroad and arrange your admission. The educational institute where you will study must be accredited by that country's government. If that is not the case, you must demonstrate that the quality of the institute and study programme you have chosen meet the Dutch standards for higher education.
