Scholarship in Netherland (NPF Fellowships)

NFP Fellowships for PhD for the Nationals of Developing Countries

Study Subject: Any
Employer: Nuffic

Scholarship Description: PhD degrees can be pursued at 21 Dutch universities and institutes for international education. You can apply for a PhD fellowship only after your research proposal has been agreed with the Dutch institution.  The PhD must always be pursued according to a ‘sandwich’ or  ‘picnic’ model, which means that a large portion of the PhD research will take place in your home country.
The maximum NFP budget available for a PhD study is € 85,000. This amount is intended as a contribution towards the cost of living and to cover the costs of visas, travel, insurance and so on, as specified in the NFP booklet ‘Rules and regulations for fellowship holders’. PhD students are allowed to seek alternative sources of funding. The maximum duration of a PhD fellowship is four years.
