If you are applying for a NFP scholarship for a Master’s programme you are not required to pay the €100 application fee.
However, you must include a letter from your employer endorsing your study plans and guaranteeing that while you are absent the salary will continue to be paid and your job will be held. This is the same letter that you need to use for your actual NFP application. |
