United Nations Considerations

According to article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity. Candidates will not be considered for employment with the United Nations if they have committed violations of international human rights law, violations of international humanitarian law, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment, or if there are reasonable grounds to believe that they have been involved in the commission of any of these acts. The term “sexual exploitation” means any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. The term “sexual abuse” means the actual or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force or under unequal or coercive conditions. The term “sexual harassment” means any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that might reasonably be expected or be perceived to cause offence or humiliation, when such conduct interferes with work, is made a condition of employment or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, and when the gravity of the conduct warrants the termination of the perpetrator’s working relationship. Candidates who have committed crimes other than minor traffic offences may not be considered for employment.

Due regard will be paid to the importance of recruiting the staff on as wide a geographical basis as possible. The United Nations places no restrictions on the eligibility of men and women to participate in any capacity and under conditions of equality in its principal and subsidiary organs. The United Nations Secretariat is a non-smoking environment.

The paramount consideration in the appointment, transfer, or promotion of staff shall be the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity. By accepting an offer of appointment, United Nations staff members are subject to the authority of the Secretary-General and assignment by him or her to any activities or offices of the United Nations in accordance with staff regulation 1.2 (c). In this context, all internationally recruited staff members shall be required to move periodically to discharge new functions within or across duty stations under conditions established by the Secretary-General.

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 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?
– What are your career ambitions? What and where do you think you’ll be 10 years from now (professionally speaking)?

Your Curriculum Vitae (CV)
