The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences offers several scholarships for international students, including merit-based awards and need-based financial aid. Notable scholarships include the Holland Scholarship and the Orange Tulip Scholarship, specifically targeting students from countries such as India. These scholarships cover partial tuition fees and sometimes living expenses. Application for scholarships must be submitted alongside the admission application, with additional documents such as motivation letters and recommendation letters. Eligibility criteria often emphasize academic excellence, leadership potential, and contributions to the fashion or creative industries. Students are encouraged to explore external funding sources as well. Scholarship availability and amounts vary annually, so timely application is critical.

International students from outside the EU/EEA, including India, must obtain a student visa (MVV) and residence permit to study in the Netherlands. The university assists eligible students by initiating the visa application process after admission confirmation. The visa process requires proof of enrollment, financial means for living expenses, health insurance, and a valid passport. Students should apply well in advance to allow for processing times, typically 8-12 weeks. Once in the Netherlands, students must register with the local municipality. Maintaining valid visa status requires full-time study and compliance with university regulations. Part-time work is permitted under specific conditions. Detailed guidance and support are provided by the university’s international office.
