attached to your online application for the master’s programmes for which

Selection process:
A Faculty selection committee will review the applications. Students are
selected on the basis of academic merit. Decisions as to eligibility for
awarding a scholarship are made in April and May 2009 (for the September
2009 intake). Applicants will be informed around 15 May 2009.
Terms and Conditions:
Students who are granted a Leiden Excellence Scholarship must confirm in

Please note
Students should be aware that the LExS is not a full scholarship. It is
necessary to find additional funding to be able to finance their study and
stay completely.
One of the requirements for being granted a residence permit in the
Netherlands is that students must submit proof that they have sufficient
financial means to finance their study period in the Netherlands. Leiden
University advises a budget, not including the tuition fee, of approx.
€10,000 to €14,000 per year to cover the costs for rent, insurance, living
expenses, course books and local transportation. How much money students
actually spend will of course depend on their life style and spending
habits.
