In general, we select the scholarship recipients based on merits (like GPA) and financial need.

Academic excellence in previous education is proven if the grade point average achieved at secondary school (measured to date) is at least equivalent to the Dutch grade of 8.0 on the Dutch grading scale 1 – 10.

Besides, you have to be aware that you will have to agree on a few general criteria before you applying for a scholarship:
