World Talent Fund
Contributing to talent
The Faculty of Social Sciences at VU University Amsterdam wishes to offer students with a talent and fascination for science room to open out. Especially foreign students who lach the means to achieve that. That's why in 2007 the World Talent Fund was established.
The aim of the World Talent Fund is to offer talented foreign students who lack sufficient financial support, a grant to study at our faculty for one year. Like Erika and Joseph below.
