Yes, scholarships are available for Master's programs in the Netherlands within your budget. A key option is the NL Scholarship, which offers a €5,000 one-time grant for non-EEA students admitted to full-time Master's programs at participating Dutch universities.

Eligibility includes:
- Non-EEA citizenship
- Admission to a full-time Master's at a participating university
- No prior full degree from a Dutch institution
- Not eligible for Dutch study grants or loans

Application steps:
- Apply to your chosen Master's program
- If admitted, you may be invited to apply for the NL Scholarship
- Deadlines vary by university (subject to change)

The NL Scholarship helps with living costs but does not cover full tuition or all expenses. Consider looking into additional funding options. If you need help identifying scholarships or applying, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
