The Middle East and North Africa Scholarship Programme (MENA Scholarship Programme) is initiated and fully funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The programme enables mid-career professionals from: Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman and Tunisia to do a short course in the Netherlands. The candidates must be nationals of and working in one of the selected countries. While scholarships are awarded to individuals, the need for training must be demonstrated in the context of the organisation for which the applicant works. The training must help the organisation develop its capacity. This means that employers must nominate an applicant and motivate his or her application in a support letter.

More information about the application procedure can be found in the attached brochure.
