The University of Amsterdam (UvA) aims to attract the world’s brightest students to its international classrooms. Outstanding students from outside the EU/EEA can apply for an Amsterdam Merit Scholarship (AMS). For the academic year 2024-2025, one (1) scholarship of €19.030,- will be available.
If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, you will need to have submitted your complete LLM application (including all required documents) before 1 January. The deadline for submitting the intake form for the scholarship and all scholarship related documents is 15 January.
Candidates wishing to apply for an AMS scholarship must meet the following requirements:
Please note that you do not need to have received your admission decision at the time of the AMS deadline. However, the AMS will only be awarded to an (conditionally) accepted candidate, who will complete his/her enrolment by 1 September.
Eligible candidates are selected for a scholarship on the basis of their academic merit.
Please note that incomplete scholarship applications will not be considered.
If you wish to apply for both the AMS and the Jaarsma scholarships, you will be able to indicate this in the scholarship application form.
You will be informed about the decision of the Selection Committee of the Amsterdam Law School by the end of May.
Specific questions may be sent via email to the Admissions Office of the Amsterdam Law School.
