The new VSB Fund Scholarship is now available for students those who are graduating from a Dutch university or university soon. Scholarship is available to study or research abroad for Dutch students.

VSBfonds believes in enthusiastic and motivated students who want to develop further. That is why VSBfonds annually makes a large number of scholarships available for students to study abroad or do research. Motivation and involvement with the environment are more important than grade lists.

VSBfonds stems from the more than two hundred years old society ‘Tot Nut van’ t Algemeen ‘. And we work every day to involve all citizens in society. We want to contribute to self-sufficiency and cohesion in our country. We do this by supporting social and cultural projects and by providing scholarships. In 1990, VSBfonds came into being in its current form. But the history of the fund goes back more than 200 years in time. From the outset, much emphasis was placed on projects of ‘general social importance’. And that still supports the fund.
