UM scholarships for 5 Gazan students
Maastricht University has granted five students from Gaza scholarships to study at the university. As is customary with scholarships awarded by Maastricht University to students from outside the EU – currently numbering more than 70 in total – the scholarship is awarded for the duration of the programme. The students from Gaza have the option of extending their studies by one year beyond the nominal duration.
One of the five Gazan students has custody over her younger brother and sister and they are currently also in The Netherlands.
The awarding of the scholarships is in line with UM’s global engagement policy, which aims, among other things, to offer international students the opportunity to study at UM, particularly those for whom this is not a given, for example because of the situation in their homeland.
UM is grateful to people and organisations that have contributed and continue to contribute to the arrival and stay of these students. We hope that they, like all new students, will be able to begin their studies in peace.
