Representatives from the St. Maarten Student Support Services(S4) will be visiting St. Maarten from June 26th through July 1st to host the final round of Information Sessions for students planning to further their studies in the Netherlands in August 2011.
This year more than 100 students have applied for study financing from the Government of St. Maarten and the qualifying group will be leaving for the Netherlands on Sunday July 31st.
To help make the transition to the Netherlands as smooth as possible, S4 organizes the VOBAS twice a year on St. Maarten. Through the Information Sessions & Workshops we aim to give prospective students (and their parents) a good idea of what to expect when studying in the Netherlands. The program planned for the week is as follows:
