Scholarships and grants
There are several options for acquiring scholarships and grants that cover some or all of the costs of a study programme at Van Hall Larenstein. In general candidates should bear in mind that official procedures require several months. It is therefore advisable to make a request for a scholarship as early as possible. It is useless to contact headquarters of organisations. Applications should be made through local projects/delegations only.
