One scholarship of half the tuition fee (€15,000 in the 2025-2026 academic year) will be awarded by the UvA for students in this programme. This scholarship will be granted to one student who shows the most promise as an active contributor to the programme. The following factors will be taken into consideration in making the award:
Objective: To support talented students and researchers from developing countries* or fragile democracies who want to follow a course at the UvA that enables them to participate constructively in the civil society of their country of origin.
This concerns scholarships for a Master's degree programme at the University of Amsterdam, with preference given to one-year Master's degree programmes. Furthermore, it is the founders’ wish that the student or researcher can contribute to the development of their own country and civil society or the government for at least 3 years.
The founders attach great importance to the student's contribution to the development of their own country. This contribution must be clearly described in the motivation letter and CV.
*According to the definition of the UN: a developing country is a country with a relatively low standard of living, undeveloped industrial base, and moderate to low Human Development Index (HDI). This index is a comparative measure of poverty, literacy, education, life expectancy, and other factors for countries worldwide.
Applicants wishing to be considered for one of the scholarships must send a specific motivation letter to techgov-llm-fdr@uva.nl before 15 January 2025.
