What is the lerarenbeurs?
Good teachers never finish learning. Especially as an educator in a rapidly growing industry around the globe, it is important to adopt a lifelong-learning mindset. The lerarenbeurs, a scholarship offered by the Dutch government (DUO), is aimed specifically at educators wanting to develop their professional needs.
The scholarship covers:
- max. €7,000 per year tuition fee
- max. €700 study materials & travel expenses
- paid study leave, depending on your work situation (calculate here)
Check the DUO website at www.duo.nl/particulier/lerarenbeurs and find out what you are eligible for!
