How to Land an Orange Tulip Scholarship to Study in the Netherlands

The Orange Tulip Scholarship is a competitive program funded by Nuffic for bachelor’s and master’s students from participating Neso countries. It offers partial to full tuition waivers and living support at top Dutch universities. Eligible applicants must hold a valid passport from a Neso country, have no previous degree from the Netherlands, and secure admission at a partner institution. Strong academic records and a compelling personal statement are essential. To apply, first enrol at your chosen Dutch university, then submit the official scholarship form and supporting documents—acceptance letter, transcripts, CV, and motivation letter—to your local Neso office before the deadline. Annual deadlines fall between February 1 and May 1. Decisions are based on academic excellence and leadership potential. Plan your budget accordingly, as most awards cover tuition, but additional funding may be needed for living expenses.
