Funding space education
in the Netherlands and beyond

The SSPF provides financial support for advanced education in space-related subjects. Its statutory objective is to support space studies in and outside of the Netherlands and to do anything directly or indirectly related or beneficial to space studies, all in the broadest sense of the word.
​ 

Priority is given to its first target group – the Dutch space sector’s (young) professionals – although advanced (PhD, Master) students of space-related programs at Dutch education institutions are also eligible as a secondary target group. 

In principle, all applicants wishing to obtain funding for their space-related advanced academic program course will be considered by the SSPF, as long as they meet the program course’s criteria.  In exceptional cases, requests by bachelor students will be taken into consideration. An interview may form part of the selection process.
OBJECTIVE

From 2019 onwards, provide (supplementary) program fee funding for applicants from both target groups to attend a Space Studies Program (SSP) or the Southern Hemisphere Space Studies Program (SHSSP) by the International Space University (ISU), or other space-related, educational program ​in or outside of the Netherlands.
