Scholarschips
  • UvA Scholarships

    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:

    • the grades obtained by the student in their first degree, in particular for the final paper;
    • whether the student has demonstrated international mobility by pursuing a joint university study programme or has previously been granted an award to study outside their home country; 
    • whether the student has published articles related to technology governance in an academic journal and the quality of those articles;
    • other academic achievements. 
  • Kuiper-Overpelt Study Fund

    Kuiper-Overpelt Study Fund

    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.
