Scholarship Offer

In this scholarship programme, attention is focused on “Europe" in particular, and the academic programmes, related to this subject. The idea behind this is, that in Eastern Europe, countries as prospective members, newly added members or neighbours of the EU are in need of information on many aspects of the European Union.
Academic knowledge and research facilities on a wide range of EU related topics are available at Leiden University.

Leiden University (in cooperation with Central European University) offers 2 full scholarships. The scholarship covers:

• Waiver of the application fee (only applicable for students who  have been pre-selected by CEU)
• Full waiver of the tuition fee
• A monthly stipend of € 970
• Reimbursement of the costs for health insurance
  (max. € 500, based on actual costs, if applicable)
• Reimbursement of the costs for residence permit
  (max. € 600, based on actual costs, if applicable)

It is possible to submit applications for more scholarship programmes simultaneously. However, it is not possible to obtain more than 1 scholarship from Leiden University for the same study programme. Also, it is not possible to combine scholarships which are provided or sponsored by Leiden University (e.g. Leiden University Excellence Scholarship, Leiden – OTS – Taiwan, Leiden University – China Scholarship programme) or bilateral agreements.

The student is responsible for submitting a complete application, according to the steps described above before the aforementioned deadline. Leiden University cannot be held responsible for late and/or incomplete applications.

Please note

One of the requirements for being granted a residence permit in the Netherlands is that students must submit proof that they have sufficient financial means to finance their study period in the Netherlands. Leiden University advises a budget, not including the tuition fee, of approx. €10,000 to €15,000 per year to cover the costs for rent, insurance, living expenses, course books and local transportation. How much money students actually spend will of course depend on their life style and spending habits.
