Applicants are required to submit a detailed account of their financial situation in addition to their admission’s form. The applicants are required to report later changes in their financial situation, such as the acceptance of other scholarships, since this may influence the size of the waiver.

Such scholarships include tuition, travel expenses, housing and other living expenses consistent with the government’s financial requirements for visa-applicants, to a maximum of € 12.000 a year. The scholarships are intended for students with an excellent academic record lacking adequate financial resources. They should submit to Leiden a letter from their ENCOMPASS contact person supporting the request for a scholarship. Applicants may be requested to apply for funds elsewhere. Applicants are requested to notify their Asian supervisor or contact person and the Department of History of Leiden University before February 1st 2007 that they wish to submit an application for a scholarship.
