08 Feb 2010
Only for Koreans: a new scholarship for master's programmes
"This is the very first scholarship programme that is sponsored by some notable and well known Dutch universities and companies and designed for Korean students only," said Netherlands Embassy deputy head of mission Marjo Crompvoets.
She added that the Orange Tulip Scholarship Programme will provide a unique opportunity for academic talents in Korea to study in Holland and experience the international environment that the Netherlands offers.
Strengthening cooperation
This programme is a result of a memorandum of understanding signed last year between the two countries for the purposes of strengthening cooperation in higher education.
"Since then, Nuffic Neso Korea has been acting as a bridge between the two countries through all kinds of activities that stimulate educational exchange."
27 students
The Orange Scholarship Programme is unique among Dutch scholarships as it is the only programme that is offered to Korean students. Up to 27 Korean students can benefit from this programme and obtain a master's degree.
