Application instructions:

To be eligible for an NFP fellowship, candidates need to be admitted to the master’s degree program for which they would like an NFP fellowship.  Thus to be eligible for an NFP fellowship, you must be admitted to the master’s degree program, short course or PhD study, for which you would like to use the fellowship.

For 2013-2014, the first deadline for fellowship applications is 5 February 2013 depending on the course.  The deadline for academic applications is earlier, about 1-2 months earlier than the fellowship applications deadline. Therefore, candidates are strongly advised to start the application procedure for admission as early as possible.  The next deadlines are 7 May and 1 October 2013.

Fellowship applications then have to be submitted through Scholarships Online (SOL). Through SOL, candidates can apply for fellowships online and they can check the status of an application.
