Admission and Scholarship in the Netherlands.

Call your friends and neighbours; the food is served.

Tag them here to see what's happening in the Netherlands.

Let's go:

The Netherlands generally have about 3 pathways to scholarship:

1. Erasmus Mundus Scholarship
2. By Institution e.g Rotary Scholarships, Bill and Melinda Gates Scholarships
3. Orange Knowledge Program (OKP)

OKP is the mother of all scholarships for all international students

in the Netherlands.

So, what is the OKP Scholarship Program?

The Orange Knowledge Programme aims to advance the development of the capacity, knowledge and quality of both individuals as well as organisations in the field of Technical and Vocational Education and Training

and Higher Education and in other fields related to
priority themes in the OKP partner countries.

The scholarships are awarded in a very competitive selection to highly motivated professionals who are in a position to introduce the newly-acquired skills and knowledge

into their employing organisation.

Scholarships are available for a selection of:

(i) Short courses (duration 2 weeks to 12 months);

(ii) Master's programmes (duration 12 to 24 months).

There's no OKP Program for PhD.

Everything you need to know about the Scholarship is found in this link: studyinholland.nl/finances/orang…

First, you need to find out if your course is available for funding using this link: studyinholland.nl/dutch-educatio…

The link shows about 565 programmes (of 2004 programmes) available in all schools in the Netherlands.

So, be very sure that your course is funded by OKP.

Once your course is available, click the link and apply to the school.

Make sure you read the admission requirements of the school before applying.

Once you get admission, the school will nominate you for the OKP scholarship.

To understand the Application criteria and selection procedure, kindly read this: studyinholland.nl/sites/default/…

Please take time to digest this page very well before applying.

Note:

1. In your essay, you have to talk about where you are working and how your current work aligns

with your goals. I know you may not have the work experience, but there's always a way to write it.

People without work experience are getting the scholarship.

2. There is full funding for a large part of worthy applicants.

For the rest, the Institution would look for co-funding organizations for them. This means that even if OKP cannot fund your program, they may look for funding organisations for you.

To understand better, this image shows the response from a school to a prospective Applicant.

There would definitely be full scholarships in other schools in the Netherlands.

To know more about the OKP and calls for applications, kindly click: nuffic.nl/en/subjects/or…

If you still have more questions about the program, kindly dm my friend, @teni_bobo, a current

OKP Scholar. He is ready to help,

But make sure you ask questions after you must have done your research.

He won't answer obvious questions.

Good luck with your Applications.

Next, we move to Newzealand.

Tag your friends.
