University of Twente Scholarship (UTS) 2027

The University of Twente Scholarship (UTS) is one of the most generous university-funded scholarships in the Netherlands for international students. Located in Enschede, the University of Twente is known for its focus on technology, engineering, and social sciences, with a strong entrepreneurial culture — it has generated over 1,100 spin-off companies. The UTS provides scholarships ranging from €6,000 to €25,000 per year towards tuition fees for Master’s programs. The highest awards effectively make the program tuition-free for non-EU students.
