The NL Scholarship 2027-2028 is a government-funded award that supports Indian students from non‑EEA countries who wish to study at any level in the Netherlands. The scholarship covers tuition fees and may include a modest living allowance, as detailed on the official NL Scholarship page. Recipients are selected based on academic merit and the relevance of their proposed study programme to the Netherlands’ higher‑education objectives. The programme aims to attract talented students to Dutch universities, fostering cross‑cultural exchange and strengthening academic ties between India and the Netherlands. Successful applicants receive financial support for the duration of their chosen degree.

Indian applicants who are citizens and intend to study at any level (bachelor, master or doctoral) in the Netherlands are eligible. Candidates must be from a non‑EEA country, hold a valid passport, and have been accepted by a participating Dutch higher‑education institution. Selection is primarily based on academic performance; no specific income threshold is required. Applicants should meet the institution’s admission criteria and possess the necessary language proficiency.
