To stimulate ties with four selected countries, Indonesia, South Africa, China and Taiwan, TU Delft - like other universities in the Netherlands - receives a grant from the Nuffic Delta Program. The University uses these funds to finance projects such as scholarships for PhD students.

TU Delft also funds a limited number of full or partial scholarships for highly talented prospective students - from all countries - who have not been able to obtain a scholarship elsewhere. Both scholarships funded by the Nuffic Delta Program and TU Delft are granted strictly at TU Delft’s discretion, which means that students cannot apply for these scholarships themselves.

 
TU Delft usually makes its scholarship decisions in June.
