WOTRO Fellowship

There are very few sources of funds available to international students wishing to pursue a PhD or doctorate. Availability of fellowships and research assistantships is limited. On behalf of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs the Dutch foundation WOTRO manages a PhD fund which is aimed at strengthening the research capacity in developing countries by the provision of facilities to individual researchers to obtain a doctorate. These candidates should have links with a local institute in a developing country. The application for the PhD project should be signed by both a local and a Dutch promotor. The research must be development-related. The fellowship period is for a maximum of four years, based on a sandwich formula: an alternating residence in Holland and the country of origin.

Please contact WOTRO for more information on application details.
