The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes
The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP) are demand oriented programmes designed to foster institutional development. To maximize the fellowships' impact on capacity-building, NFP funded training must be linked to the institutional development of organizations. A wide range of organizations are eligible - governmetnal, private and non-governmental.
Target Group
The NFP target group consists of mid-career professionals
who are already in employment and who are nationals of and working
in one of the selected countries (one of them being Egypt). While
fellowships are awarded to individuals, the need for training must
occur within the context of the organization for which an applicant
works. The training must help the organization to develop its
capacity. This means that applicants must be nominated by their
employers. In fact, an application without the support of an
employer will not be considered.
NFP Sub Programmes
Individual fellowships for:
– short courses
– master degree programmes;
– PhD studies
Applying for NFP
PhD degrees can be pursued at 21 Dutch universities and institutes for international education. A list of these universities and institutes and other relevant information can be found in the NFP brochure 2009 or on the Nuffic website.
Applicants for master’s degree programmes or short courses must first gain academic admission to the course of their choice before applying for a fellowship through the Netherlands embassy or consulate in their country. Also, they can only apply for an NFP fellowship if the course is on the NFP course list for that particular year.
In all cases, applicants are advised to contact the
Netherlands embassy well in advance for specific instructions, and
to inquire about specific local procedures and deadlines,
requirements and selection criteria. These may differ from the
general information provided on the Nuffic’s website or in the
brochures. Applicants are requested to call any Sunday or Wednesday
from 10:00 - 11:00 to make an appointment for an interview.
Information regarding studying in the Netherlands in general and
the Netherlands Fellowship Programmes in particular can be found at

A hardcopy of the NFP brochure 2009 and the brochure/CD-rom
'Study in Holland' are available at the reception of the
embassy. For more information contact the embassy every Sunday or
Wednesday from 10:00 - 11:00. Applicants are requested to ensure
that all required documents are in order and ready before the
interview.
