Application procedure
11 Feb 2010
When you apply for admission to a programme in the Netherlands, you should indicate that your study performance is excellent and that you wish to be nominated for the prestigious HSP Huygens Programme by the Dutch institution you would like to study at.
Early application deadlines
Some Dutch institutions work with early (admission) application deadlines for students wishing to apply for scholarships and therefore need an early notification. Please check the website of the institutions concerned.
HSP Huygens Nomination letter
The nomination letter is a form which institutions use to inform Nuffic about your unique qualities and your proposed programme of study. The nomination letter from the Dutch institution is a required document for an HSP Huygens Scholarship application.
Preparing your file
After receiving the official HSP Huygens nomination letter 2010 from the Dutch host institution, you can start preparing your application file. If the Dutch institution does not agree with your candidacy for a HSP Huygens Scholarship, they will not provide you with a HSP Huygens nomination letter. This means that you cannot apply for an HSP Huygens scholarship. In that case, please visit www.grantfinder.nl to explore other ways to fund your studies or research activities in the Netherlands.
Contact persons
Nuffic has prepared a list of the HSP contact persons at Dutch institutions. Please only email the contact person of the institution you applied for.
