PhD Scholarships in the Netherlands

The Netherlands boasts heavily subsidized study from its local government, offering far cheaper university tuition than many other countries around the world. Even though their undergraduate education is comparitively cheap, master's degrees and PhDs can still be expensive. Gaining a scholarship for a PhD is highly competitive and few are offered due to the cost to the government and to the educational facility. Nevertheless, there are many opportunities depending on the type of course you want to research, and also the country from which you are coming.

  1. ICS Graduate School Scholarship

    • The Interuniversity Centre for Social Science (ICS) in the Netherlands offer a highly competitive, highly subsidized, and much sought-after scholarship for potential PhD students. The ICS scholarship primarily favors social science students, though it also accepts students in the fields of mathematics, statistics and economics. The scholarship covers full tuiton fees, living expenses, and research costs. The four-year course also pays a salary for each student it accepts to the program. Further details can be found at the ICS Graduate Scholarship web page.
