University of Amsteram Scholarships 

U21/LERU Partial Scholarship

If your university is a member of the Universitas 21 network and/or LERU network then you may be eligible for a partial scholarship of €500. You must also be a current student at that university when you apply for the summer course.  If you graduate before the start of the summer course but were a student at the time of submitting your application, you will still be eligible for the scholarship.  

Students studying at Dutch universities on these lists are not eligible for these scholarships.    

You must verify that your home university is a member of the LERU network and/or the U21 network. The Summer Programmes Office GSSS will then be able to submit your application to the U21/LERU scholarship fund. The final decision on granting these scholarships is made by the UvA following acceptance of the candidates into the summer programmes. The €500 scholarship will be deducted from your tuition.  

  • Step 1: Check your eligibility by making sure that your home university is in the LERU or U21 network.
  • Step 2:  Apply to the programme and indicate that you are applying for a LERU or U21 scholarship.  
  • Step 3: Upon acceptance you will hear if you have received the partial scholarship.  

Global Exchange Partner (GEP) Tuition Remission

Tuition scholarships awarded by your home international office

Certain universities may have bilateral exchange agreements which lead to tuition remission for some of the UvA Summer School courses. Check our list of partner universities to see if we have such a formal Global Exchange Programme agreement with your home university. Your home university international office should also be able to tell you if such an agreement exists and what the rules and regulations are.

  • Step 1: Check your eligibility by making sure that your home university is a GEP university.  
  • Step 2:  Contact your home university's international office and inform them that you are applying for this course and understand you may be eligible for partial or full tuition remission.  
  • Step 3: Apply to the course and indicate that you are applying for a GEP tuition remission (when asked if you have applied for any scholarships).  
  • Step 4: Upon acceptance to the course, you will hear if you have received any tuition remission. This will depend on the agreements between the University of Amsterdam and your home university.
