HAN University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands is offering the HAN Scholarship in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. Those who have demonstrated outstanding success in their academics and personal development stand a good chance of securing the HAN scholarships.

The scholarships are available for both the undergraduate as well as postgraduate courses. These are partially funded scholarships.

"The HAN scholarships are € 2,500 per term or year. Your cost of living will be at least € 1,000 per month, so from € 12,000 per year.
