Holland offers full scholarships

BOGOR: The Dutch government is offering full scholarships for
civil servants, activists, lecturers as well as journalists in
the Studeren in Nederland (StuNed) scheme.

"The StuNed scholarship scheme is only for Indonesians ... it
is aimed at helping development in the country through the
empowerment of its human resources," Siska Aprilianti, a
scholarship officer for the Netherlands Education Center, was
quoted as saying by Antara while disseminating information on the
scheme at the Bogor Institute of Agriculture on Thursday.

She said the institution sent about 200 students through the
scheme every year.

"The applicants should have worked at their current job for at
least two years ... those who have registered at universities in
the Netherlands can also apply for a scholarship," she said. --
