If you are planning a Master’s at Radboud University (Nijmegen), these are the main scholarships you should watch. I am only using official Radboud pages so you do not waste time on fake info.
1) Radboud Scholarship Programme (RSP) 2026/2027
This is the biggest one for non-EU/non-EEA students and it is very selective.

2) NL Scholarship at Radboud (formerly Holland Scholarship)
This is a €5,000 grant for 1 year (first year only), and it is not a full scholarship.
