The Amsterdam Economics and Business Talent Fund is a brand-new scholarship initiative for Master’s candidates in Business Administration in need of financial assistance. A small number of full scholarships are available from the fund for exceptionally gifted non-EU students who also have financial needs. We aim for diversity and help deserving students from low-income countries who lack financial resources through scholarships.
