Have a Seat
The Have a Seat scholarship program is a wonderful initiative that connects our donors with the Tilburg University campus, quite literally. Donors adopt a seat in CUBE, the largest lecture hall on campus, and thereby provide support for talented students. Whenever a seat is adopted, we attach a plaque with the name of the donor and a quote by him or her. Seats are adopted for a minimum of five years for a fixed amount of €50 per year.
Donors can use the www.tilburguniversity.edu/haveaseat(new window) website to adopt a seat and see which students they are thereby supporting. Conversely, students can use the same website to contact the alumni who have adopted the seats. The revenue from the Have a Seat scholarship program is used to help students develop their talents.
Students who find themselves in difficulties as a result of external circumstances and who need some financial support in order to complete their studies (emergency fund).
International students who would like to take a Master’s program in Tilburg but who cannot afford to do so without support.
Talented students who are also top-level athletes who need financial support to go to a competition/match or study program abroad.
As an alumna, it is only right to do something in return for your university(new window)
