Cubans Can Again Apply For Dutch Scholarships / 14ymedio
Posted on October 13, 2014

Cubans are once again eligible for Netherlands Fellowship Programs (NFP)
scholarships, after a decade of exclusion. The modification of Dutch
regulations allows citizens on the island to request support for
courses, workshops, masters degrees and doctorates in the Netherlands.

Among the studies available, the Glasnost Foundation in Cuba promotes
courses for bloggers and independent journalists with the purpose of
"improving their work and connecting colleagues in other parts of the
world," at the RNTC, an institute dedicated to training for
communications and media professionals.

Requests for an NFP scholarship are open until 26 October. Applicants
should meet the eligibility criteria, among which are a high level of
spoken and written English.

The NFP scholarship programs have been created by the Dutch Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, and are administered by Nuffic, the Dutch organization
for international cooperation in higher education. Programs are offered
in 51 countries and cover all visa and travel costs, as well as room and
board, insurance and registration fees.
