Outstanding Scholarship of Leiden University
1. Scholarship introduction
This is a scholarship program established by Leiden University to attract outstanding students from all over the world to pursue master's programs.
2. Scholarship content
The scholarship program has three awards, namely:
10000 euro tuition fee
15000 euro tuition fee
The total tuition fee MINUS the statutory tuition fee.
Here, let's take a look at what is the legal tuition fee. In fact, it is the tuition fee charged by the Dutch government for domestic students, also known as family expenses, which is usually only about 2,000 euros, which is much cheaper than international students. So the third prize here is equivalent to paying the same tuition as Dutch students.
In addition, these three awards are not based on the Excellence of students, but on the scholarship budget of each college. Therefore, if someone gets more scholarships than you, it doesn't necessarily mean that TA is better than you. It may be that the college where TA is located is richer.
