LPDP–Netherlands Joint Scholarship Programme

Scholarship for Indonesian mid-career professionals to pursue a master’s degree at a Dutch Higher Education Institution

Programme Overview & Objectives

In 2021, Nuffic Southeast Asia, Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP) and Directorate General of Higher Education – Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (DIKTI) agreed to collaborate in a joint scholarship programme through its StuNed Scholarship and DIKTI-LPDP Scholarship programmes. In 2024, this collaboration has been branded as the LPDP-Netherlands Joint Scholarship Programme.

This scholarship prorgramme is a collaboration between the Indonesian and Dutch governments.


The LPDP-Netherlands joint scholarship programme aims to optimise the resources that the collaborating organisations have by focusing on specific areas that are mutually relevant and important to Indonesia's development priorities, the development of key expertise in the Dutch knowledge sector, and the bilateral cooperation agenda of the two countries.

Since 2026, the programme is no longer implemented by Nuffic Southeast Asia.
