Yes, there are several scholarships and funding options for international students at public universities in Europe, including Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands.

- Germany: Most public universities do not charge tuition fees, but you must pay a semester contribution. Scholarships like the DAAD and Deutschlandstipendium are available for international students.
- Sweden: Tuition fees apply for non-EU/EEA students. The Swedish Institute and individual universities offer scholarships that may cover tuition and living expenses.
- Netherlands: Non-EU/EEA students pay higher tuition fees. Scholarships such as the Holland Scholarship and Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees can help offset costs.

Scholarship availability and criteria vary by country and university, and policies are subject to change. For detailed guidance on applying, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
