Please follow the following instructions to avail this scholarship:

1. You can apply by indicating during your application for admission for a Master’s programme in the OSIRIS Application system that you wish to apply for a Radboud Scholarship. You will then be requested to upload three additional documents: two reference letters and a curriculum vitae, if you have not already done so for the Master’s programme application.
2. The selection for the scholarship and the admission to the Master’s programme are two separate processes: admission to the Master’s programme does not imply selection for the scholarship. It is not possible to apply for the full scholarship separately, but you apply for both the full and partial scholarship if you apply for RSP in Osiris. This means that if you are selected for the Radboud Scholarship Programme, you will hear from us whether you are selected for the full scholarship or the partial scholarship.
3. You must have completed your application in the online OSIRIS Application system before February 28, 2023. Please note that incomplete applications will not be considered for the Radboud Scholarship selection. An incomplete application means that some information and/or documents are missing or illegible. Therefore, please be advised and submit your application early February 2023 at the latest so that the Admissions Office has enough time to review your application and inform you in case that it is incomplete. We recommend you hand in your proof of English proficiency before the deadline of 1 March as well.
4. You will be informed about the final decision by the International Office with respect to your application for a Radboud Scholarship before mid-April 2023 (date subject to change).
