Philosophy, Politics and Economics scholarship

Students who wish to be considered for the programme have to apply, via the PPE application process, before the deadline of 15 January 23:59 CET. During the PPE applications process students will be asked if they want to be considered for the scholarship. Those interested have to indicate this on the application, as well as to complete and turn in the additional required question. Students that want to be considered have to explain how they think that they enhance the diversity of the programme. Students are asked to reflect on how their, nationality, cultural and/or socio-economic background and other experiences enhance diversity of the programme. We encourage students who are first generation students to apply for the scholarship.

Students will be scaled based upon their motivation on why they should be accepted into the scholarship programme, what they would do after completing the PPE programme and their social interest. Average grades are also taken into account.

Students are eligible for a scholarship on the basis of the following criteria:

1. The student has applied for a scholarship before the application deadline;

2. The student holds citizenship of the Netherlands or of another EU/EER country;

3. The student has uploaded documentation that allows the Board of Admission to review the application with a focus on:

• The student’s impression of the field of study and career perspectives;

• The student’s societal engagement;

• The student’s added value to the diversity of the cohort, as a representative of an underrepresented group (e.g., but not exclusively, nationality, socio-economic and cultural background).

Applicants who do not hold a Dutch or EU/EEA passport can apply for a Utrecht Excellence Scholarship. You can apply for the UES during the PPE application process, where you will be asked if you wish to be considered for a scholarship as well as to complete and turn in the additional required question.

Admitted students will be informed if they have been awarded a scholarship in their admission letter.
