University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Social Sciences
is inviting applications for merit scholarships in Netherlands. Students
from outside the European Economic Area can apply for scholarships.
The Amsterdam Merit Scholarships (AMS) have specifically
been designed by the Universiteit van Amsterdam to offer talented and
hard-working non-EU/EEA students the opportunity to pursue a degree in one of
the academic fields covered by the UvA. The AMS programme is highly selective:
only applicants with excellent study results and motivation may receive a
scholarship.
The University of Amsterdam aims to attract the world’s
brightest students to its international classrooms. As from September 2007,
outstanding students from outside the European Economic Area can apply for an
Amsterdam Merit Scholarship
Applicants must proof of English proficiency
(IELS/TOEFL) :TOEFL (internet-based) – overall score of 100 (with a
minimum score of 22 in each of the different components), IELTS (academic) –
overall score of 7.0 (with at least 7.0 in each of the four components).
Course Level: Scholarships are awarded for pursuing
master’s programme at the University of Amsterdam.
Study Subject: Scholarships are offered in diverse
fields within Graduate School of Social Sciences to help students in
upgrading their education.
Scholarship Award: The scholarship consists of an
amount equal to the tuition fee. Please note that the scholarship cannot be
used as a (partial) tuition waiver. The applicant must still pay the full
amount of tuition due. Scholarship holders will receive their grant in
monthly instalments. Selected AMS candidates may receive a top-up scholarship
in the form of the Holland Scholarship. Selection is based on academic merit
first, and financial need second (as demonstrated by the financial plan
submitted during application).
Scholarship can be taken in Netherlands

Amsterdam Merit Scholarship programme must meet the following requirements:

support, throughout the academic year.

School of Social Sciences. Scholarship continuation is not guaranteed when a

of Social Sciences for the first time. AMS will not be awarded to candidates
who are admitted for a second Bachelor’s or Master’s programme at the

link to the IND website below).

year and the programme for which the scholarship is awarded.
The candidate should not receive a full coverage scholarship
for the same period of study as the AMS scholarship. Notify the scholarships
office when another full scholarship has been awarded and accepted.
Scholarship continuation for subsequent year(s) of study
depends upon satisfactory study progress. The programme you will be enrolled
in, as it depends on the curriculum and rules and regulations of the
department, sets the standard for satisfactory progress, and the time and
manner in which progress will be measured. Please be advised that you are
