  6. Additional condition
    Candidates are strongly advised to apply for external scholarships like the Huygens Scholarship Program as well. If a student receives an external scholarship, fully covering tuition waiver and living expenses, the Tilburg University Scholarship (including tuition waiver and living expenses) will be cancelled. If an external scholarship would be less then the Tilburg University Scholarship, the Tilburg University Scholarship can be awarded partially; it will cover a tuition waiver as mentioned above and a supplement for living expenses of which the total amount for one year will not exceed €16,800 (which equals the amount for living expenses within the Huygens Scholarship Program).
