Erasmus University Rotterdam ISS Scholarship Fund for Excellent Students

The fund applies to all nationalities and is for the International Institute for Social Studies (ISS). It is for study at Master level, specifically for students wishing to enroll in the Master of Arts in Development Studies at ISS.
