Fee, funding & visa

Funding

If you have a scholarship, please mention this on your application. External funding possibilities can be explored together with a supervisor. Occasionally, openings for paid PhD positions at the Maastricht Graduate School of Law are advertised on Academic Transfer.

Useful resources to explore the opportunities for funding your PhD:

• The Netherlands organisation for international cooperation in higher education
  NUFFIC gives practical information on living and studying in the Netherlands.
• The NUFFIC grantfinder is an online database listing funding opportunities.
• The NUFFIC Southeast Asia programme.
• The China Scholarship Council offers financial assistance to
  Chinese citizens wishing to study abroad.

• The Fullbright Center offers scholarships for US citizens.
