This merit-based award supports students who aim to pursue a Master’s degree in Humanities at the University of Amsterdam and who demonstrate a strong commitment to promoting a just, inclusive, and multicultural society through their academic and professional ambitions.
The scholarship is available for master’s level humanities programs in the Netherlands, offered through the Graduate School of Humanities at the University of Amsterdam. With a competitive application deadline of 15 January 2026, this opportunity is ideal for students seeking fully or partially funded master’s scholarships in Europe at a globally respected institution.

The Letje Lips Scholarship Program is named in honor of Letje Lips, the long-serving internationalization coordinator at UvA’s Faculty of Humanities.
