The MENA Scholarship Programme (MSP) aims to build bridges through knowledge by offering opportunities for capacity building within organisations in the Middle East and North Africa. It enables young professional impact makers to take part in short courses in the Netherlands

Through this scholarship a limited selection of working professionals up to (and including) 45 years old can follow a fully-funded short course study programme at IHE Delft Institute or Water Education. The MSP is a very competitive scholarship. Only a small number of the best candidates receive a scholarship. The available scholarships are equally distributed across the participating countries, considering the available budget and the quality of the applications. 50% of all scholarships per country are reserved for female applicants.

Available courses vary per country and depend on the priority themes per country. Applicants who don’t suit their country approach are not eligible for a scholarship. Therefore, you must click on your country to read more about the priority areas and available courses.
