Field of Study: Bachelors in IBA (International Business Administration)
Type: Undergraduate
Eligibility: The scholarship will be awarded for the first year of the IBA programme, provided excellence in previous education is proven. As the scholarship will only be awarded for the first year, students should be aware that they will need to have sufficient means to cover the study costs of the second and third year.
Selection Criteria:
- Excellence in previous education is proven if the grade point average achieved at secondary school (measured to date) is at least the equivalent of the Dutch grade of 8.0 on the Dutch grading scale 1 – 10.
- For prospective students who have also attended higher education after secondary education grades obtained in higher education will also be considered. The RSM Scholarship Committee will decide on the local grade equivalents for the Dutch grade of 8.0 using (a.o.) the grade information included in the Nuffic country modules;

Value of Scholarship:
- The scholarship is in the form of a tuition fee waiver and covers the difference between the non-EEA tuition fee and the EEA tuition fee;
- No actual transmission of money takes place. The scholarship part will be subtracted from the full non-EEA tuition fee (€ 9,600) before the start of the academic year, enabling you to immediately pay the reduced tuition fee; either at once or in instalments.
