Hello and welcome to our 1st edition of our Study Abroad & Exchange Newsletter 2017. We hope that you had a great summer break, and are now getting back into the swing of things in this busy Autumn period.
The International Office has been busy during the summer welcoming our new incoming exchange students on campus. If you’re looking for more information on a certain destination, then talk to our incoming exchange students! Join i*ESN and get to know all our partners through the students coming from our partner universities.
From our side, we have been also meeting and welcoming new faces and as of now, we have a new Exchange Coordinator for the Region of East & Southern Europe and a new Study Abroad Assistant. So, to kick things off – let’s introduce the team!

Scholarships for your Exchange |
|
Although, a semester abroad is undoubtedly the most exciting thing, sometimes worrying about money can get in the way! That is why we have compiled a quick summary of all financial help that we can offer:
Study Abroad Allowance (non EU)
If you are a student of TLS, TSH and TSB, then you are eligible to receive a Study Abroad Allowance of 750 EUR if you complete all the necessary requirements of your exchange.
(except BSC Data science)
Erasmus+ Grant ( EU)
This is applicable for every student who is going on exchange in an EU country, as long as all the requirements are met. The amount will vary per destination (150eur – 270eur) and upon available budget from the European Commission.
(exceptions: Switzerlands, American College of Greece, John Cabot university)
Holland Scholarship
The Holland Scholarship is available for students of Tilburg University (except students studying at Tilburg School of Economics and Management – TiSEM) who want to study outside of the EEA.
You must have a minimum grade of 7 to apply. For more information, click here. |
