JAKARTA (JP): The Netherlands Education Center (NEC) launched
a scholarship program on Tuesday for journalists and other
professionals to pursue postgraduate studies in the Netherlands.

The scholarship program, the Studieren at Netherlands
(STUNED), covers full tuition fees, living allowance, health
insurance, books, settling-in allowance as well as travel
expenses to the Netherlands.

The STUNED program started in April 2000 and out of 228
students who applied this year 143 were awarded the scholarship.

Those who wish to apply should have a minimum GPA of 2.75 and
should be below 40 years of age. The program is open to
Indonesian citizens only.

According to the NEC spokeswoman Monique Soesman, very few
journalists have applied and only two have been awarded the
scholarship so far. (06)
