[Holland] STUNED Scholarship Programme - Page 2 of 2


First part can be found here.

Two ways to apply for StuNed, and `How to do it'

There are two ways to apply for a StuNed scholarship:

1. Individual application (for master and short courses programmes)

The StuNed regular Scholarship programme provides full scholarships for professionals to take part in master courses or short courses. Applicants should take the following steps:

a. register for admission to a study programme in the Netherlands (see guidelines for registration at the NEC website). The university or institute offering the course will have its own admission requirements. Applicants are therefore strongly advised to contact the institution well in advance for further information about the details of the course and the admission procedure;

b. download the StuNed application form from the NEC website;

c. submit the form, with all required attachments to NEC before the deadline. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

Application deadline:
- for master programmes: 1 April 2005
- for short courses

with a start date between 1 July - 31 December 2005: 1 March 2005
with a start date between 1 January - 31 June 2006 : 1 October 2005

Pre-Registration for candidates from Outside Java

Candidates from outside Java may benefit from pre-registration through which a provisional award can be obtained. A provisional award is valid for one year enabling candidates to achieve the required level of English proficiency. The deadline for pre-registration for courses starting in the academic year 2006-2007 is 1 October 2005. See details on the website www.nec.or.id

2. Group Application (for master, short courses and tailor made programmes)

Institutions, partnerships, consortia and functional networks (hereafter called institutions/networks) may submit a collective application for staff upgrading. The requesting institution/network must show a high commitment tot the development of Indonesia. Commitment to the programme can be expressed in various ways i.e. by providing pre-departure English language training. Applications linked up with existing cooperation between Indonesian and Dutch institutions are encouraged.

Training needs can consist of existing master courses (including the Dutch part of a double degree programmes) and short courses or tailor made programmes. Tailor made programmes are defined as existing short courses of which the starting date, location and/or time frame is adjusted to the institutions requirements. Tailor made programmes may also consist of a selection of existing modules to comply with the specific needs of the requesting institution. The programme may take place entirely or partly in Indonesia.

Detailed information on procedures, deadlines and guidelines for proposals and forms are available at NEC or the NEC website.

How to apply?

The first and most important step on the way to a scholarship is finding the right study programme. More than 1,000 international study programmes to choose from.

The next step is to register for admission to the chosen study programme; registration can be done via e-mail. Application for most courses starting in the 2005 academic year is open from January to March 2005.

6. A personal and original letter of recommendation on the institutions stationary;

7. A letter from the university or employer stating that the applicant is allowed to study abroad and that her / his position will be hold until after the applicant is back in Indonesia; this letter may be submitted after receiving the results of the selection, but before departure to The Netherlands;

The selection process

All individual applications for master courses or short courses that fulfil the requirements are recorded, ranked and categorised according to various criteria like GPA score, TOEFL score, present occupation, domicile, assessment of the motivation, study category, gender and others.

The selection committee awards the scholarships based on all information supplied by the candidate, the importance of the sector for development of Indonesia and the role of the institution for development of Indonesia. A statement by the employer describing the effect that the study will have, on the organisation is an important factor in this evaluation.
