Contexte
The University of Twente Scholarship (UTS) 2027 is inviting applications from outstanding students from non-EU/EEA countries who wish to pursue an eligible Master’s degree in the Netherlands. The scholarship provides between €3,000 and €22,000 for one year and is intended to help compensate for study-related costs. For students enrolled in a two-year Master’s programme, an additional scholarship of an amount equal to the first year’s award may be available for the second year, provided the student meets the required academic progress conditions. The University of Twente Scholarship is highly competitive and is aimed at academically excellent students. The university indicates that successful candidates are generally among the top 5–10% of their graduating class at their home university.
About the University of Twente Scholarship: The University of Twente Scholarship is designed to support excellent international students who have been admitted to qualifying Master’s programmes at the University of Twente. The scholarship is separate from the Master’s programme admission process. Students must first apply for a qualifying Master’s programme and receive a conditional or provisional admission letter before applying for the scholarship. Applicants should therefore begin the university admission process early, as receiving an admission decision can take up to eight weeks after completing the application.
