Over het fonds
De Stichting A.A. van Beek Fonds is in 1923 opgericht door de heer A.A. van Beek. Per 1 januari 2018 is het vermogen van de stichting overgedragen aan een gelijknamig fonds op naam binnen het Erasmus Trustfonds, het A.A. van Beek Fonds. Het fonds stimuleert studenten om tijdens hun studie ervaring op te doen in het buitenland. Studenten die hiervoor een extra financieel steuntje in de rug nodig hebben, kunnen een aanvraag indienen bij het fonds.

Procedure
Applications are carefully processed and all personal information provided will be handled confidentially.
During the decision procedure, applications are assessed based on the formal eligibility criteria and based on substantive assessment criteria. The assessment criteria, amongst others, take into account:
- To what extent the application contributes to the core aims of the Erasmus Trustfonds and/or the A.A. van Beek Fonds
- The applicant’s motivation
- To what extent the application involves Erasmus University Rotterdam
- The quality of the application
- Whether the exchange can proceed without the support of the Erasmus Trustfonds.
Grants are awarded based on priority of the application and available budget.
Applications are assessed by the Erasmus Trustfonds staff and the board. We aim to do so within six weeks. However, in exceptional cases, it might take longer before a decision is made.
During the decision procedure, we might contact you for further information.
After a decision has been made
After we have reviewed the application, a notification of the decision will be sent to you by e-mail.
If support is granted, the grant letter states the amount granted and the requirements/conditions under which the grant is made. We might, for example, require a report of the exchange.
In the grant letter you are requested to submit a financial and substantive account. Please find a template for this report here.
