About this position
The Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds offers scholarships for Dutch students who want to study or conduct research abroad after completing their studies in the Netherlands. The award supports a wide range of disciplines and is designed for full-time, internationally based study or research that builds directly on the applicant’s previous academic training.
Successful applicants can use the funding for a degree programme abroad or a research placement at a foreign institution. The scholarship is especially relevant for students progressing from an HBO bachelor’s degree to a first master’s degree, or from a WO degree to a second master’s degree or a PhD track abroad. The scheme also supports research placements linked to PhD study, provided the stay lasts at least three consecutive months.
The Cultuurfonds awards around 250 of these grants each year, making it a substantial but competitive programme for students with strong academic backgrounds and a clear study plan abroad.
Funding details
Grant of up to €25,000, covering up to half of the total budget. Funding can include rent and accommodation, living costs, tuition fees, and a return journey; exact amount depends on costs and duration.
What's required
Applicants must be Dutch nationals or have lived in the Netherlands for at least 5 years. They must have completed a Bachelor’s degree at a university of applied sciences (HBO) or a Master’s degree at a research university (WO), or be due to complete their degree in the current academic year. Eligible pathways are a first Master’s degree after an HBO bachelor’s, a second Master’s degree after a WO degree, or a PhD studied abroad. The programme or research must be full-time and directly linked to prior studies. An average of at least 8 out of 10 is recommended, though applicants slightly below this may still apply, with cover letter, CV and references becoming especially important. Applicants must not have previously received a Cultuurfonds grant. Conferences, work placements, exchange semesters, part-time or online programmes, and postdoctoral studies are not funded.
How to apply
Apply online through the Fund’s application portal between 1 February and 1 April. Submit a complete application by midnight on 1 April. The advisory board reviews complete applications and responds by email in mid-June.
