Eligibilities

  • The VU Fellowship Programme (VUFP) is a Merit scholarship programme for strongly motivated students with excellent study results.
  • Eligible candidates must be able to prove their academic excellence, and they must be admitted to an English-taught Master’s degree at VU Amsterdam starting per September 2019.
  • Students with the Dutch nationality and/or a Dutch degree (given that the Dutch degree is used for admission) are not eligible for admission.
  • Students following a one-year Master’s programme may not apply for the VUFP scholarship for the second year.
  • Students already enrolled in a two-year Master’s programme who have not been awarded the VUFP scholarship in 2018/2019 are not eligible to apply for the VUFP scholarship 2019/2020.
  • Only when a student was granted a scholarship from the beginning, then the scholarship can be extended if he/she achieved 100% of the credits of the first year.
  • The Faculty VUFP committee will be asked to demonstrate to the Central VUFP committee that these credits have indeed been achieved. The scholarship will only be granted to a student once and is explicitly intended for the Master’s programme for which it has been awarded.
  • One VUFP scholarship will be reserved for an applicant who previously completed a semester or full academic year abroad at the VU Amsterdam via the Semester in Amsterdam program and is now applying for a full-time Master’s programme at VU Amsterdam.

Application Process

1. Register for Master’s programme

  • Students register for a Master’s programme in Studielink and after that in the VUnet portal. Here you can find more information on how to apply for one of our English taught Master’s programmes. Please note that you must have applied for the Master programme before you can apply for the VUFP scholarship.
  • Deadline: 1 February 2019.

2. Submit VUFP application

  • Submit your VUFP application in VUnet.
  • Deadline: 1 February 2019
  • For VUFP application 3 documents in PDF format are required:
    • Proof of excellence/ GPA
      Please upload a proof of transcript of your previous degree or current Bachelor’s degree. Please provide a document with the used grading scale and clear explanation of the GPA calculation. Students who apply for a VU Fellowship Programme need to have a GPA of at least 80% of the highest possible mark (calculated over a full previous degree or current Bachelor’s degree). For example, if the highest possible mark is a 10 you need to have an average of at least an 8. Excellence in previous education is proven if the grade point average achieved is at least the equivalent of the Dutch grade of an 8.0 on the Dutch grading scale 1 – 10. The VUFP  Scholarship Committee will decide on the local grade equivalents for the Dutch grade of an 8.0 using the grade information included in the NUFFIC country modules.
    • Motivation Letter
      They would like to know your motivation for the VU Fellowship Programme. Why do you think you deserve to receive a VUFP scholarship?
      Topics that are reviewed in the motivation letter are the following:
      • Why do you want to study this specific programme?
