Scholarship application

Nyenrode Revolving Scholarship Program

Each candidate admitted to Nyenrode demonstrates a unique ability to become a leader who will make a difference in the world. Where admission is based on merit, financial support is awarded based on motivation and demonstrated need.

It is a long-standing tradition within Nyenrode that scholarships awarded are revolving in nature. This means that scholarship recipients accept the "moral obligation" to give what they once received by becoming donors themselves to the Nyenrode Scholarship Fund when they graduate and are financially able to do so. This gives the Scholarship Fund ongoing funding and allows it to continue to award scholarships in the future. We hope that all scholarship students will support this tradition and contribute according to their ability.

Below are the scholarships available for the 2024-2025 academic year. Please choose up to 3 scholarships from this list that you would like to apply for and motivate for each scholarship why you are the right candidate. Look for conditions and procedures further on this website.
