Fellowships Program

Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP)
The Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs awards a number of fellowships annually under the Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP), with the specific intention of assisting participants from developing countries.

--------------------------------------------------
Application for admission
In brief, the application procedure consists of the following steps:

Candidates first apply to ITC for admission to a course. Application forms can be downloaded from our website (http://www.itc.nl/education/register) or obtained from ITC's Education Affairs department (email: education@itc.nl). The deadlines for admission to ITC's courses vary. The course descriptions indicate which deadline applies. Please note: The ITC deadline for applying for admission to a course is later than the NFP deadline for applying for a fellowship.
Acceptable candidates will receive a letter from ITC indicating that they have been provisionally accepted.

Application for a fellowship
Candidates then apply for an NFP fellowship through the Dutch embassy or consulate in their own country. To do this, candidates must complete an NFP application form, which can be obtained from the Dutch embassy or consulate and/or downloaded from the NUFFIC website (http://www.nuffic.nl/nfp/). Candidates should submit it, together with all the required documents and information to the Dutch embassy or consulate in their own country.
Fellowship applications will not be taken into consideration without a letter of admission from ITC.

WOTRO Fund for PhD Projects
The DC Fellowships scheme is aimed at supporting high-quality Ph.D. and post-doc (ex-WOTRO Ph.D. researchers only) research projects carried out by talented researchers from developing countries.
The scheme has two objectives, namely, to provide the facilities necessary for obtaining a doctorate degree or strengthening an individual post-doctorate career and, indirectly, to strengthen the research capacity in developing countries. The grant is designed to support a ‘sandwich formula’: a stay in the Netherlands followed by a fieldwork period in the developing country and finally completion of the project in the Netherlands (or the other way round: developing country, the Netherlands, developing country).
There are no restrictions with respect to the research topic or subject. WOTRO encourages post-doctoral research in particular.

Notes

Fellowships are usually intended as a substantial contribution towards most basic expenses but do not cover all costs in full.
Although fellowships from the Dutch government, EDF or one of the United Nations agencies do include a fixed allowance for books, lecture notes and personal drawing and calculating equipment, this seldom covers the actual cost of these study materials.
