Frequently asked questions about the ASML Technology Scholarship

I have already started my master’s degree in engineering. Can I still apply for a scholarship?

The ASML Technology Scholarship in engineering is open to all students who start their master’s degree program in the same year that they submit their scholarship application. For example, if you started your master’s degree studies in February 2022, you can still apply for the scholarship in 2022. However, if you started in September 2021, you are no longer eligible for the 2022 scholarships.

Note: Those who begin their master’s degree program with a full-time extracurricular activity such as a student team are still eligible and can apply a year later, when they begin their full-time master’s degree study.

I plan on doing extracurricular activities that will take up most of my study time. Can I still apply?

If you are planning on starting the academic year with extracurricular activities that will take up more than 50% of your time, such as joining a student team or acting as a board member of a student association, we ask you to hold your application until the year when you expect to start your full-time master’s degree study. Keep in mind that you will still be eligible even if you’ve already completed some master’s-level courses.

Are the scholarships open to foreign or exchange students?

Yes, students from all nationalities who are pursuing a master’s degree in the Netherlands can apply for our scholarships. Please note that the funding provided by the scholarship is not sufficient to cover international tuition fees. In addition, you are required to personally attend the June assessment days if selected; travel costs are not reimbursed.

I want to study abroad (outside the Netherlands). Am I still eligible?

Our scholarships are only open to students pursuing a master’s degree in the Netherlands. However, if you plan on doing a foreign internship or exchange program for a maximum of four months while also pursuing a master’s degree in the Netherlands, you can still apply.

What happens if my study progress is delayed?

If you drop out or take a significant break from your studies, we will unfortunately have to discontinue your scholarship. However, if you experience a delay because you are pursuing a double master’s degree or have extra courses or activities, your scholarship will not be affected.

Is the training program obligatory?

Yes, we expect you to attend the training sessions. Valid reasons for being absent include illness, foreign internship and exams. We do our best to plan the sessions outside exam periods.
