What is StuNed?
StuNed, Studeren in Nederland, is a scholarship programme that aims to contribute to the development of Indonesia through strengthening the human resources of Indonesian organisations. Each year some 150-200 full scholarships are offered for professionals to follow master programmes, short courses or tailor made training, all conducted in the English language. Graduates commit themselves to return to Indonesia immediately after graduation and to be actively involved in the development.
The StuNed programme is subject to the Dutch policy for development co-operation which aims to achieve the UN Millennium Development goals in 2015. For Indonesia the bilateral programmes focus on generating and strengthening institutional capacity in development relevant sectors and theme’s such as: basic and higher education, ,HIV/ AIDS prevention, environment, water management and sanitation, trade, community based development, good governance & human rights, gender, and culture.
In line with the Indonesian Policy, as laid down in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP), strengthening the decentralisation process is another objective of the StuNed programme. Therefore attention is given to candidates working at local government level and those working outside Java. StuNed also aims at a balanced gender representation (minimum 50% women).
Candidates’ profiles
The StuNed programme aims at providing scholarships to government officials (central and regional), NGO officials, lecturers-educators and journalists. Employees of private companies working in development related sectors are also invited to apply.
The ideal StuNed candidate is strongly committed to the development of Indonesia; possesses proven leadership qualities; is strongly committed to the eradication of corruption and other bad governance practices; and can justify how the scholarship contributes to the development of his/her organisation.
Eligible courses
StuNed offers scholarships to follow master courses, short courses or customized training programmes. In general the eligibility of a course depends on the relevance for the development of Indonesia. The motivation for the study choice is an important factor in the assessment of the application.
Most courses on language and literature are not eligible except those concerning the Indonesian or Dutch language. Study programmes on culture and history for which special sources are available in the Netherlands, are also eligible.
PhD programs are not eligible under the StuNed programme. For these programs see the information on the Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP) (another scholarship programme from the Dutch Government) on our website.

How to apply for StuNed
Applicants are strongly advised to contact the institution well in advance for further information about the details of the course and the admission procedure; the university or institute offering the course will have its own admission requirements.
Applicants should take the following steps:

The selection process
All individual applications for master courses or short courses that fulfil the requirements are recorded, ranked and categorised according to various criteria like GPA score, TOEFL score, present occupation, domicile, assessment of the motivation, study category, gender and others.
A team of readers will assess all applications on the above mentioned criteria. The selection committee awards the scholarships based on the assessment, the importance of the sector and the employers for the development of Indonesia. A statement by the employer describing the effect that the study will have on the organisation is an important factor in this evaluation.
All candidates will be contacted for the last step in the application procedure; the interview. Candidates who pass the interview and have submitted all requirements will be offered a StuNed scholarship.

- tuition fee;
- monthly living allowance;
- insurance package (travel, health, third party liability);

Dear sir/madam,
I am a fourth year graduate student of Computer science in Bangladesh. As Bangladesh is a poor country, we have not enough resources for research though it is very valuable for us to perform research. We have good theoretical knowledge but our research hand is very poor. I am looking for a scholarship for my master’s degree study on related subject. Is there any way to get free scholarship on that related subject in your university or in any other institutions .
Please let me know.
I will be very grateful to you if you help me providing the sufficient informations and advices.
I will be waiting for your answer.
Thank you.

I am Girmay Asfawesen. I was born at February 21 in 1982, in a place
known Mekelle, a capital city of Tigray . (Tigray is one of the regions
in Ethiopia ) I was grown up with my mother only. Because my father has
passed away when a kid, my mother had nothing to do with me. Because
she
was uneducated. The income was so little that, we could not have
sustainable life. In our country every thing is so hard if you do not
have money. Being poor means you abstain from academicals & other
services.
Now, I am a graduated of IT (information technology) in diploma
program.
But this is not quite enough to me. Because, there is less, really
less,
job opportunity in our country. In another hand, to upgrade I need to
have money if not to simply become I heard that your University gives
many Free scholar ship programs from the moment I heard this I feel so
glad. & Thought that things are going to be ok. And I am hopeful that &
will join this University & you will really understand my problem.
Many thanks for your
Chance
