We advise you to submit your application as soon as possible. Do not wait until the last minute as SOL runs more slowly when there are many concurrent users, which means you risk missing the deadline.
The overall aim of the NFP is to help alleviate qualitative and quantitative shortages of skilled manpower within a wide range of governmental, private and non-governmental organisations. This is done by offering fellowships to mid-career professionals to improve the capacity of their employing organisations.
The fellowship is a supplement to the candidate’s salary and a contribution towards the expenses related to the course or study programme.
