Grants and scholarships

Fontys University of Applied Sciences has a number of scholarships available:

1. Huygens Scholarship Programme 

HSP Huygens Programme is open to students from all countries of the world. It is aimed at talented students who want to come to the Netherlands in the final phase of their bachelor’s studies or during their master’s studies. Study can include research and/or practical training. The Dutch Minister for Education, Culture and Science has made four million euro available for international students coming to the Netherlands under the HSP Huygens Programme. There is no fixed number of available scholarships, but the actual number is determined by the total cost of the variable components of the scholarships.
Check the Nuffic website for all up-to-date information and requirements.

2. Fontys Excellence Scholarships 

For each academic year, Fontys offers more than 40 scholarships to the most tallented non-EEA students who pay the higher non-European tuition fee. New students, as well as students who already study at Fontys (first, second or third study year) can be considered to receive a scholarship.

3. Lifelong Learning Programme-Erasmus

The Lifelong Learning Programme-Erasmus programme is a subsidy programme from the EU specifically for improving international mobility within Higher Education in Europe. To be eligible for a subsidy, the participating Higher Education institutions must be holders of a European University Charter (EUC). Since 2003 (the first year), Fontys has held an EUC.

It is a requirement for subsidy that prior to all mobility activities, a bilateral agreement be entered into with the intended partner institution. This is left to the institutions themselves, but the FIO maintains a list of Lifelong Learning Programme-Erasmus Partner institutions.
