European Masters Fellowship

In January 2008 the Foundation Board decided to yearly allocate a budget for fellowships.
These fellowships will be made available for students who fulfill the following criteria (all criteria should be met):

• Nationality / citizenship from outside the European Union and European Economic Space, Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles, not having a permanent residence permit in any of the above regions
• Admitted to the MSc Food Technology at Wageningen University as well as to the European Masters programme
• A GPA of at least 75 (75% of maximum scale) in their BSc degree
• Below the age of 30 when starting the European Masters programme

Three fellowships of 10,000 Euro each are available for students entering the 2010-2012 programme.
The fellowships will not be awarded to students who have already obtained a full fellowship for the duration of the study programme or can raise sufficient funding from any other source. Candidates are obliged to demonstrate that they have not obtained such other fellowships and cannot raise sufficient funding independently.
Upon receipt of confirmation of admittance to the programme candidates can submit their fellowship application by e-mail to the programme coordinator. A committee of the Foundation Board will judge the applications. The applicants will be notified on the decision around 1 May.
Note: For the 2009-2011 programme, application deadline has passed.

General fellowship information

Students may apply for a tuition grant. For more information and application procedures, go to www.mft.wur.nl/UK/Fellowships/ .

Please note that students with a NFP fellowship cannot be accepted in the European Masters programme. Unfortunately the combination of Nuffic Fellowship (NFP) and studying abroad for a major part of the study, as is the case for the European Masters programme, is illegal in The Netherlands.

The MSc Food Technology / specialisation European Masters Degree in Food Studies is not an Erasmus Mundus programme.

For EU students: the internship qualifies for an Erasmus grant.

Specifically for Dutch students: The European Master programme is an official 2-year MSc programme and qualifies for 2 years of "studiefinanciering".
