Amsterdam Excellence
Scholarship
A prestigious new scholarship programme has recently
been launched targeting exceptionally talented Master’s students from outside
Europe. The Amsterdam Excellence Scholarship (AES) is a full scholarship of
€25,000, covering tuition and living expenses for one academic year. There is
the possibility of an extension for a second year for two-year Master’s
programmes. The UvA will award up to 15 of these scholarships annually.
Who is
eligible?
Students from any discipline who graduated in the top
10% of their class may apply. Selection is on the basis of academic excellence,
ambition and the relevance of the selected Master’s programme to a student’s
future career. Scholarship recipients become part of a select community, taking
part, for example, in extracurricular activities developed specially for them.
How to
apply?
The AES application period runs from 1 November
2015 to 15 January 2016. Applications are made through the Admissions
Offices of the graduate schools. Students who meet all the requirements can
apply for the AES when they apply to their chosen Master’s programme. However,
please be aware that the scholarship application deadline is 15 January
2016, which is earlier than the application deadline for most of the
Master’s programmes.
