FAQ Scholarships
-
Can I apply for more than one scholarship at the Amsterdam Law School/University of Amsterdam?
You may apply for more than one scholarship, but only one scholarship can be granted.
-
Can an individual be granted more than one scholarship?
You may apply for more than one scholarship, but only one scholarship can be granted. If you apply for more than one scholarship, your letter of motivation for each scholarship should be tailored to it. You only need to submit your transcript, diploma and language test once.
-
Do I also need to get my documents to you in hard copy by the deadline?
The Amsterdam Law School must receive all documents required for the scholarship concerned in hard copy by the deadline. If you have not graduated by the deadline and are therefore unable to present a diploma, a certified list of marks (transcript) will suffice.
-
I was granted a waiver for the English language test; do I need to provide English language test results anyway in order to be considered for a scholarship?
If you have applied for an AES scholarship, you are always required to submit a TOEFL/IELTS/CAE/CPE with the required minimum score – even if you have been granted a waiver for admission to one of the Master’s programmes. This requirement does not however apply to the other scholarships.
-
When can I expect to hear a decision on my scholarship application?
The recipients of the AES, AMS and Jaarsma-Adolfs scholarships are announced in April.
-
I would like to start in February. Can I still apply for a scholarship?
If you start a Master’s programme in the February semester, you are unfortunately ineligible to apply for a scholarship.
-
What should I do if my list of marks (transcript) does not include a class ranking?
If you have applied for an AES or Jaarsma-Adolfs scholarship and your list of marks (transcript) does not include a class ranking, a statement from the Dean of your faculty indicating that you graduated in the top 10% of your class will suffice.
