Planning a graduate programme in food, agriculture, environment, or development can be difficult when tuition and living costs are not fully covered. The Anne van den Ban Scholarship is worth reviewing early if your study plans are connected to Wageningen University and you need to show both academic purpose and financial need.

Below, scholarship winners share how they prepared for university funding, explained the value of their study goals, and organised the materials that supported their applications. Read their stories to see what they applied for, how they managed timing, and what helped them succeed.
