The foundation "stichting Vicarie Sancti Nicolai van 27 october 1501" was erected 500 years ago in Winterswijk. This is a city in the eastern part of the Netherlands, in the province Gelderland, close to the German border (one hour driving from Arnhem).
Since 1605 the income of this mediaeval foundation is used for the support of students who emanate from the Batenburg or Van Basten Batenburg family.

Request for Scholarships
The 'collator' decides yearly how many students will get an allowance. The collator can also appoint relatives who do not bear the name Batenburg or Van Basten Batenburg. The contribution will stop anyway at the end of the study.
If your interested in a Scholarship, please provide the secretary with the following information (by e-mail or post):
- a curriculum vitae (resume),
- (information from your passport: surname, Christian names, call name, date, place and country of birth)
- full address information (also your e-mail address)
- a recent photo,
- an official document that shows that you were matriculated at a college,
- the full names of your parents,
- the motivation for your request for an allowance (do you face a real financial need, or is it just nice to have!)
- number of your bank account (and all the information needed to transfer money from the Netherlands to your account) (in case your request is accepted.)

Board of governors
The governors are Rutger G.C.M.M. van Basten Batenburg (president)
at Maastricht, René Batenburg (treasurer) from Utrecht
en Mathijs van Basten Batenburg (secretary) at Amsterdam.
Since the end of 1999 Wim M. van Basten Batenburg from Nijmegen
is the 26th collator since the foundation in 1501. He enjoys
the honour to decide which student gets the yearly scholarship.
The collator is, according to old rules, the oldest and nearest
male descendant of the founder in the male family line and
Dutch resident. Since 1782 these are the relatives of Maria
Helena Catharina van Basten en Jan Hendrick (van) Batenburg
from Groenlo. One branch of descendants is named 'Batenburg'
and the other branch is named 'Van Basten Batenburg'.
Properties
The properties of the foundation consist mainly out of an
estate "De Batenborgh" situated between Groenlo and Winterswijk
in the Gelderland province, and some assets at the stock-exchange. There is also a chapel
owned by the Foundation.
The Treasurer produces every year a financial report. A copy can be requested from the secretary.
