Candidates who have not been admitted by a Dutch university need not apply for a UFP fellowship . The Netherlands embassy or consulate in the candidate's own country or region is the only place to obtain UFP application forms. Please note that only the selected candidates will need an original and certified birth certificate to enter the Netherlands. Nuffic examines the fellowship application to make sure that it meets the programme criteria and the conditions set by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Nuffic then allocates the available fellowships.
Preference is given to female candidates.
Candidates who are selected for a fellowship are notified in an official letter from Nuffic. This letter reaches them through the nearest Dutch embassy or consulate. They will also receive instructions on visa and airline ticket arrangements through the Netherlands embassies or consulates. Candidates who are not selected for a fellowship receive written notification directly from Nuffic. Nuffic sends copies to the Netherlands embassy or consulate in question.
