Extra Support for Non-EEA Students
Extra Support for Non-EEA Students
The Friends of UCR offer financial support to help you succeed at UCR.

Here to Support Your Journey
If you’re a student from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), you pay a significantly higher tuition fee. That’s a big commitment—and the Friends of UCR recognize it.
To help make your education more accessible, the Friends provide financial loans and grants tailored specifically for non-EEA students who demonstrate both need and merit.
Need-Based Loans for Non-EEA Students
Need-Based Loans for Non-EEA Students
If you’re in your second or third year at UCR and hold a non-EEA nationality, you may be eligible to apply for a loan from the Friends of UCR.
These loans are designed to help students from outside the EEA manage financial challenges during their studies. They are awarded based on need and academic performance, with the following conditions:
- You have a non-EEA nationality
- You’ve earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Your combined parental income is under €30,000 per year
This support exists to recognize the higher financial burden non-EEA students face.
How to Apply
How to Apply
To apply for a loan, you may request an application form via friends@ucr.nl.
As part of the application, you will be asked to provide the following:
- A recent copy of payslip(s) of parent(s)/guardian(s) (in English),
- A motivation letter detailing your financial need, your family’s financial situation and what you plan to do to generate finances for yourself.
Be sure to attach relevant documents, like a budget overview. The Friends’ Board carefully reviews all applications and typically responds within a few weeks.

Studying at UCR has not only allowed me to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a doctor but has also been a source of tremendous personal growth for me.

About the Friends
About the Friends
The core mission of the Friends of University College Roosevelt Foundation is to raise funds to provide financial aid to UCR students; bright young adults who can benefit from financial assistance in order to access the opportunities generated by UCR. A small financial investment in a motivated young person at the right time makes a major difference for that student’s future and for society as a whole.
How we Help
How we Help
We provide interest-free loans with extended grace periods. This gives our students sufficient time to pursue further education and establish themselves professionally. At the same time, encouraging them to support future generations of UCR students and enabling the Foundation to become partly self-sustainable within several years.
