The exact amount depends on the duration of your stay and your destination.You can obtain a grant for a minimum of three months and a maximum of 12 months. The grant is from 150 to 250 euros per month depending upon destination.

Nuffic - study abroad with a disabilitiy (in Dutch only)
Students with another nationality than the Dutch nationality, who qualify for the Dutch study grant (Studiefinanciering) due to employment (working hours and work contract), are not able to meet the employment requirement during the stay abroad and will therefore not be able to receive this grant during their study abroad period.
For more information on this please contact DUO (link below) directly. Also, it will be difficult to apply for scholarships and funds, as for most Dutch scholarships you will need the Dutch nationality and for scholarships in your home country you will need to be enrolled in an university there as well.
One of the few funds you may apply for is the Amsterdam University Fund, you will find information on this fund below.
The Amsterdam University Fund manages a number of funds for which students can make a financial request. See the Amsterdam University Fund website for more information. There are grants available for both individual trips and group trips, on the condition that these are organized by and for UvA students. There are strict deadlines throughout the year.
