Funding Option for International Students in Netherland-QIST TU Delft

[stellae]

I've been admitted to the Quantum Information Science & Technology master's program (joint TU Delft and Leiden University) starting September 2026, but I'm still working on securing funding.

I'm an Indonesian student (non-EU) with a physics undergraduate degree, and I'm currently working professionally in IT. I applied for the QuTech scholarship but it appears unsuccessful, and I'm unable to self-fund the 2-year program.

I'm looking for advice on other scholarships for international quantum/physics master's students in the Netherlands that I should explore, whether master's students can get TA/RA positions at TU Delft to offset costs, and realistic options for international students in this situation.

Any guidance from those who've navigated similar funding challenges would be greatly appreciated.

As a first step, I would recommend contacting the University and it's financial aid department. They'll be in the best position to advise you on your options.

OP: As recommended in Reply #2, contacting the university program in the Netherlands that admitted you should be your first step. You should also check whether funding options are available from your home country (Indonesia). If there are, check carefully the terms and conditions (such as returning to Indonesia after you finish your education and working for at least X years).
