Keep an Eye Grants
The Keep an Eye Grant is an incentive of € 11,000 which was created specifically for DAE students to ensure that projects made by these talented young graduates do not run aground for financial reasons. Every year, a panel of judges decides which four graduates will receive a Keep an Eye Grant. The Keep an Eye Grant is funded by the Keep an Eye Foundation, www.keepaneye.nl.
Among all our graduates, 20 projects are nominated for 4 Keep An Eye Grants.
