University of Groningen - Florentino García Martínez Research Master Scholarship

Florentino García Martínez Research Master Scholarship

You receive a one-off grant of 1,000 EUR towards the costs of the two-year Research Master in Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. This is a top-up, not a full scholarship or a monthly payment. The grant was funded by alumnus Jan Overmeer. It is named after Florentino García Martínez, a former director of the university's Qumran Institute, which studies the Dead Sea Scrolls and early Judaism.

Who can apply

• Programme: You are enrolled in, or admitted to, the two-year Research Master in Theology and Religious Studies. It runs full time, is taught in English and counts 120 ECTS credits.
• Field of study: You want to specialise in the Hebrew Bible, early Judaism or the Dead Sea Scrolls.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply, both Dutch and international students.
• Admission first: You can only apply once you have an offer of admission to the Research Master, or once you have already started it.
• Grades: An academic committee picks the winner on academic merit, so you need a strong academic record.

How to apply

You apply through the Qumran Institute once you hold your admission offer. The deadline is 1 March for non-EU/EEA students and 15 May for Dutch and EU/EEA students. An academic committee then decides based on your academic record.
