Wittenborg Scholarships and Study Funds

Wittenborg is a private, heavily international university of applied sciences in the Netherlands, with campuses in Apeldoorn, Amsterdam and Munich and a student body drawn from more than a hundred nationalities. Its funding is deliberately structured as several smaller awards rather than one large one, and the Wittenborg Funds are specifically released to attract excellent international students from outside the EU/EEA — which is precisely the category Sri Lankan applicants fall into. The Wittenborg Gold Fund gives a EUR 1,500 fee reduction, the Silver Fund EUR 1,000 and the Bronze Fund EUR 500. The Wittenborg Graduate Fund is larger, at a EUR 3,000 reduction on tuition for Master of Science or MBA programmes — roughly LKR 1.04 million. Separately, Wittenborg participates in the national scheme, offering ten Holland Scholarships of EUR 5,000 each for Bachelor's or Master's study, and ten MBA Scholarships of EUR 5,000 each for the Master of Business Administration. A Tech Women Master Scholarship offers a partial tuition fee waiver across the 1.5-year MBA programmes for technically educated female students. The single most important procedural point: all scholarships must be applied for during the admissions stage and before registration into the programme. Once you have registered, you cannot go back and claim them. Two honest caveats. Wittenborg is a private institution and its fees reflect that, so a EUR 1,000 or EUR 3,000 reduction is helpful but does not transform the cost — model your total before deciding. And nothing here covers Dutch living costs, which the IND requires you to evidence for the student residence permit, or health insurance and flights.

Applied for during the admissions stage, before registration. Wittenborg runs multiple intakes a year, so timing follows your chosen start block — confirm current fund values on wittenborg.eu
