Study at the University of Utrecht (scholarships, grants and fellowships)

University of Utrecht has a long history which dates back to the seventh century. In this century the Saxon monk Willibrord set up a school for priests and noble men of Utrecht. This school was later called the Domschool where even an emperor has his education. In those days, Utrecht was the intellectual centre of the Northern Netherlands. During the Middle Ages other schools were founded in Utrecht and due to the end of a notable period the Hieronymusschool was founded. This school introduced humanism into Utrecht education. Centuries of education and changes of name followed and the result of this long and beautiful history can still be seen. The university has long-established gardens, old buildings and historical street names.

Nowadays, Utrecht University focuses on the future, but at the same time values its past, cherishing its history in museums, library collections and active historiography. The programmes at Utrecht University offer students to reach their aspirations.
