HAN Scholarships 2022-23 for International Bachelor and Master students, Netherlands

0

Application deadlines: Starting degree in September: 1 April / Starting degree in February: 1 October

Decided to enroll in a bachelor or master degree at HAN? Are you from a country outside the EU/EEA? Then you may qualify for a HAN scholarship. These are offered in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.

For outstanding achievers

Have you made outstanding achievements in your education and personal development? And are you a national of a country outside the EU/EEA? Then you’re a good candidate for one of the HAN scholarships below. Don’t meet these requirements? Then you might want to search for scholarships elsewhere. For example, with scholarship organizations in your own country or on the Study in Holland website.

What are the HAN Scholarships

For bachelor students

Orange Tulip: € 12,500
Students from Brazil, China, Indonesia, Russia, India, South Korea, Mexico, Vietnam or South Africa

HAN Holland: € 12,500
Students from another non-EU/EEA country

Honors: € 7,500
Non-EU/EEA students who didn’t get a scholarship in the 1st year

Orange Tulip Scholarship and HAN Holland Scholarship
For these scholarships you receive € 2,500 in the 1st semester and € 2,500 in the 2nd semester. After that you can receive € 2,500 per year for the following 3 years of study. To get this you must continue earning the required 45 credits each year.

Honors Scholarship
The Honors Scholarship is different. You don’t need to apply for it. The academic board of the study program selects students with outstanding academic results in their 1st year. Who is eligible? Students who meet the minimum requirements but do not have a HAN Holland or Orange Tulip scholarship. The payment starts with € 2,500 in the 2nd year. After that you can receive € 2,500 each following year of study. To get this you need to earn the required 45 credits each year.

For master students

Orange Tulip: € 5,000
Students from Brazil, China, Indonesia, Russia, India, South Korea, Mexico or Vietnam

HAN Holland: € 5,000
Students from another non-EU/EEA country

Honors: € 2,500
Non-EU/EEA students who didn’t get a scholarship in the 1st semester

HAN Holland Scholarship
For both these scholarships you receive € 2,500 in the 1st semester and € 2,500 in the 2nd semester.

Honors Scholarship
The Honors Scholarship is different. You don’t need to apply for it. The academic board of the study program selects students with outstanding academic results in their 1st semester. Who is eligible? Students who meet the minimum requirements but do not have a HAN Holland or Orange Tulip scholarship. This scholarship is a once-only payment of € 2,500 in the 2nd semester.

What are the requirements?

You are a national of a country outside the EU/EEA

You have not previously been enrolled in a degree at a university or university of applied sciences in the Netherlands

You have been accepted into a full-time English-taught degree program at HAN

You have an IELTS score of at least 6.5, a TOEFL iBT score of at least 90 or a Cambridge Certificate (CAE or CPE)

Does a scholarship covers all the costs?

No. These scholarships help you to finance your studies. You still have to meet the requirements of the financial guarantee.

How are the scholarships paid?

Your scholarship is paid in 2 terms: in March and September. Are you starting your degree in February? Your scholarship is paid in February each year. Keep in mind that tuition fees are due in the fall semester. You can only receive the payment if:

you’re enrolled as a HAN student

you have a Dutch bank account in your name

What about Dual nationalities?

Are you a dual national? Spanish and Venezuelan, for example. So EU/EEA and non-EU/EEA? Your EU/EEA nationality will be used as your 1st nationality. This means you can’t apply for a HAN scholarship. But it does qualify you to pay the EU/EEA tuition fee. This is much lower than the non-EU/EEA fee combined with a HAN scholarship.

Can you combine scholarships?

You cannot combine HAN scholarships. But you can combine a HAN scholarship with a scholarship from another organization.

Apply in 5 steps?

Complete your enrollment:
Complete your enrollment in a bachelor or master degree before the dates below. Do you meet the minimum requirements? Then you’ll receive an email inviting you to apply for a scholarship. You can expect this to arrive on one of the dates below. Please note that all degrees start in September and only some are also offered in February.

Prepare your application:
The next step is preparing the following 3 items:

A motivation letter. Here you explain why you’ll be a successful HAN student

A short video of yourself. Max. 3 minutes. Address the following:
– Describe yourself and the things you excel in
– What would your former teachers or your friends tell us about you?
– Tell us about your chosen course of study at HAN
– Imagine you’re working in a team. Based on your personality and/or experience, what role would you have and why?
