ISS receives a majority of students on a partial or full scholarship programme. While in the past many of our students have enjoyed their studies on a Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP) scholarship, there is an increasing group who apply for other scholarships. ISS has therefore created a scholarship database to help you find funding you are eligible for.
(Your admission is valid for two consecutive years. If you have applied for a Diploma course but your application for financial assistance has not been completed, your application will automatically be deferred to the next year. If you have applied for the MA programme, you will need to request a deferral through an email to the admission office.)
NFP & MSP
The Dutch government offers two scholarships to international students - the Netherlands Fellowship Programme and the MENA Scholarship Programme. Here you will fird more information and application instructions for these programmes.

ISS Funds
ISS established two funds to support students without any other form of scholarship. Both funds are open to Dutch and international students who wish to enroll in the Master of Arts in Development Studies at ISS. Students need to have a letter of admission from ISS.
ISS Scholarship Fund for Excellent Students | ISS Hardship Fund |
A total of 20 scholarships, each worth 40% of the tuition fee (for the MA 2015-2016: € 5,800), are available for excellent students. The following candidates can apply:

Students who do not comply with the criteria for the scholarship fund for excellent students but do not have sufficient means to pay the entire tuition fee can apply to the ISS Hardship Fund. This fund can provide a fee discount of up to 30% of the tuition fee (for the MA 2015-2016: € 4,350).

To apply for one of the funds, applicants should send in their requests to the ISS student office email address before 15 June 2015. (studentoffice@iss.nl). |

Requests should explain shortly the reason why a fee reduction will enlarge your opportunity to study at ISS and include detailed financial information (including supporting bank statements) to prove your ability to support yourself for the remaining tuition fee, the living expenses and health insurance. The decision will be taken in early July. Students selected for the fellowship will be informed by the international office. |
