MENA Scholarship Programme 2011

The MENA Scholarship Programme aims to contribute to capacity building within organizations and institutions in the six selected countries: Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman and Syria. Moreover, a network of over 100 alumni positively contributes to the relations between their respective countries and the Netherlands.

Scholarships are only available for short courses included on the MENA course list 2010. Scholarship applications for participation in other courses will not be considered. A MENA scholarship is a contribution to the costs of the chosen short course. The following items are covered: subsistence allowance, international travel costs, visa costs, tuition fee, medical insurance and an allowance for study materials. The Dutch institution pays the MENA allowances to the scholarship holder.

The allowances are considered to be sufficient to cover one person’s living expenses during the study period. The fellowship holders must cover any other costs from their own resources.

Rules & Regulations

The Programme is governed in general by the Rules & Regulations of the Netherlands Fellowship Programmes, although there are exceptions for certain procedures (securing placement, selection of candidates). Selected candidates will receive a copy of the NFP
