Beursopener and Grantfinder data in European ScholarshipPortal
21 May 2010
Nuffic search engines Beursopener and Grantfinder help both Dutch and international students to find a scholarship or other funding for their studies, work placement or research abroad.
Nuffic was approached by StudyPortals, whose initiatives include the website www.mastersportal.nl. StudyPortals and the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) have been granted an EU subsidy to develop a European ScholarshipPortal and are therefore keen to work with the ACA’s partners, including the DAAD in Germany, the ÖAD in Austria and Nuffic in the Netherlands. The DAAD and the ÖAD have now pledged their support.
Nuffic will soon be providing StudyPortals with data from Beursopener and Grantfinder. It is therefore essential that the information in the search engines is up to date. To ensure this is the case we are asking the scholarship providers, including a large number of education institutions, to check the information about their scholarships or funds in the search engines. To do this, go to www.beursopener.nl (scholarships for Dutch students) or www.grantfinder.nl (scholarships for international students).
