Scholarship opportunities from KIT Fund
KIT Fund offers scholarships to talented health professionals from low-income countries to study a Master’s programme at KIT Royal Tropical Institute. The aim being that with what they learn they will contribute to improving the health care situation in their country and/or around the world.
KIT Fund aims to contribute to that by offering scholarships to health professionals from low- and middle-income countries who have few other scholarship opportunities.
Scholarships thanks to donations
KIT Fund is able to offer scholarships thanks to the donations and financial support from different organisations, foundations, alumni and other donors. Every year, we depend on the donations coming in, which means that we only know how many (partial) scholarships we can offer during the year.
We usually offer partial scholarships (which means that participants have to find additional funding themselves), and only if finances allow a few full scholarships. Full scholarships are often only for certain countries or on certain topics (in line with preferences with funding organisations).
Scholarship for Master Programme
For students admitted to the upcoming Master of Public Health and Health Equity for academic year 2025-2026, KIT Fund is able to provide a few scholarships. The scholarship is for applicants from low- and middle-income countries. The scholarship covers the tuition fee and travel- and living costs.
We specifically encourage candidates candidates from countries ranking high on the fragile state index, from Indonesia or candidates with a strong interest or professional background in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) to apply.
Application period: 12 March 2025 – 4 May 2025
