It is not possible to actively apply for an Eric Bleumink Fund Scholarship. The Admissions office and the Faculty Admission Boards nominate suitable candidates. The nomination is based on your application to one of the Master's degree programs and the EBF nomination criteria. If you are nominated, you will be informed before 1 February. If you have not been notified by the Admission Office about an EBF nomination by 1 February, you were not selected. Please do not contact us with applications.

Only applicants who have received a provisional or unconditional admission offer for a master programme before February can be considered.
