Nyenrode University: 86 scholarships and 86 coaches

In the coming academic year, Nyenrode Business Universiteit will be further expanding its scholarship program. In total, 86 scholarships with an average value of €10,000 will be available for young management and entrepreneurial talent. In addition, 86 coaches from business and Nyenrode alumni will assist the students in their studies. In most cases, the coach is from the sponsor organization. With this initiative, Nyenrode is looking to enthuse more students for a career in business, lower existing financial thresholds for talented students and strengthen further the bond between the students and business. Participants in the scholarship program range from KLM-Air France and ABN-AMRO to CoolCat and NatuFit. On November 16, Nyenrode organized a scholarship day for the 2006 coaches and students with a presentation of the 60 scholarships from the previous series. Nyenrode has made available 60 scholarships this year to celebrate its 60th anniversary. Herman Bruggink, President van Nyenrode: “The scholarship was necessary in part as a result of the unfair competition in higher education in that we wanted to provide additional financial support for particular students. Funding cannot be an issue if you select Nyenrode – just talent and ambition. It should be noted that the vast majority of our students take a loan themselves, knowing that the years to break even ratio is far more favorable here than at state universities.
