Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University offers a limited number of scholarships to prospective MSc students from non-EEA countries.
General Overview
- The scholarship is granted in the form of a tuition fee waiver and covers the difference between the non-EEA tuition fee (€22,500 in 2025-2026) and the statutory fee (€2,601 in 2025-2026);
- No actual transmission of money takes place. The scholarship part will be subtracted from the full non-EEA tuition fee before the start of the academic year 2025-2026, enabling you to immediately pay the reduced tuition fee (€2,601 in 2025-2026); either at once or in instalments;

RSM will only take your scholarship application into consideration as long as you meet the minimum requirements and meet the deadlines.
Required information:

- Describe your financial situation and any challenges you have faced in funding your education. How would a scholarship alleviate those challenges?
- How do you plan to use your (MSc) education at RSM to achieve your academic and/or professional goals and make a positive impact on your community or society at large? - A budget plan using this template
Please note that we can only take the scholarship application into consideration when it is complete and meets all of the requirements. This includes a GMAT or GRE score, English language test results (if applicable) and a budget plan.
