Eric Bleumink Fund

Karla de Souza Queiroz: Working internationally

  

The Eric Bleumink Fund awards scholarships to talented students and young researchers from developing countries. Such scholarships enable them to further develop as individuals and to make important contributions to the development of their own countries.

In the eleven years that the EBF exists over forty scholarships have been handed out . More than forty young , ambitious and very talented people were able to follow an additional study  at the University of Groningen . Here they were introduced to an academic culture , libraries and  international contacts they are often lacking in their homeland .

 

Giving to the Eric Fund Bleumink

These scholarships are funded by donations. More and more students, staff, alumni and contacts of the University of Groningen are supporting the Fund with contributions. Some are regular donors, others make a one-off donation. For EUR 35 we can cover the living costs and study costs for a student for one day. Would you like to help us?

Valuable contribution

Many former students that received a scholarship of the Eric Bleumink Fund have become a teacher or researcher in their home country. They share the knowledge and experiences they have gained in Groningen with a new  generation of talented students . Others work in an international organization or in business and thus provide a valuable contribution to their society .
