Award Ceremony
Holland Scholarship Award Ceremony
On Tuesday 30 August 2016 a number of Holland Scholarships were presented by Prof. Sibrand Poppema, the President of the Board of the University of Groningen. Thirty-two students from 13 different countries attended the ceremony to receive their scholarship. A total of 43 candidates from outside EU/EEA and 41 RUG candidates were awarded a Holland Scholarship.
The scholarship presentation ceremony took place in the Senate Room of the Academy Building. Prof. Poppema gave a speech, in which he explained that the scholarship had been developed in collaboration with the Minister of Education, Culture and Science with a dual purpose: to enable talented students from abroad to study in the Netherlands, and to give Dutch students the opportunity to gain valuable experience abroad. Moreover, these students also function as ambassadors for the quality of our teaching.
