Marina van Damme Scholarship 2026

The Marina van Damme Scholarship is a scholarship programme designed to support women who want to deepen their expertise and leadership in science, technology, engineering, and related technical fields. It is associated with the Marina van Damme Foundation in the Netherlands and is aimed at female graduates who have already built a strong academic and professional profile.

Based on available reference information, the scholarship offers a grant of €9,000. It is intended to help fund advanced studies, specialised courses, training, or similar academic and professional development opportunities in STEM and technology. Rather than being limited to one single university, the programme appears to support women pursuing further development in relevant technical disciplines.

The scholarship is especially suitable for applicants with prior work experience and a clear plan for how the funded study or training will strengthen their career and impact. Reference postings connect the programme with women in areas such as geoscience, environmental science, geology, mining impacts, and other technical subjects, although the broader focus is on STEM and technology.

Applicants should generally expect to demonstrate a strong academic background, relevant professional experience, and a convincing proposal for advanced study or training. Because this is a competitive programme, clear evidence of achievement, motivation, and future contribution in the field is likely to be important.

Application procedures and timelines may vary by year. Candidates should consult the official scholarship source or the current call announcement for the latest eligibility rules, documentation requirements, and submission process before applying.
