Under the Rosemary Orr Scholarships, each year University College Utrecht (UCU) offers support to a limited number of promising students in the form of campus fee waivers. Campus fee waivers cover accommodation in a double (shared) room, while the student is required to cover their tuition fee payment and personal expenses either through their own funds or through other scholarships and financing that might be available to them.

Who are eligible for a scholarship?

All students, EEA and non-EEA may apply for a scholarship. The scholarship is intended for students with a demonstrable financial need. It is not based on academic merit.
