The Netherlands is well known for its tuition-free (PhD) and low tuition education due to government subsidy, and thus is one of the top destinations for international students looking to pursue either low tuition or tuition-free studies in Europe. Aside the Dutch government's fee subsidies in public schools, there are also several scholarship and fellowship programmes.
Since the Netherlands has continued to be popular with students largely because of the high respect and internationally recognized degrees accorded Dutch universities, Study & Scholarships has compiled these Dutch scholarships for study in the Netherlands as offered by both Dutch and non-Dutch institutions, and the Dutch government.
