It is hard to find additional funding once they are in The Netherlands. They might be eligible for a student loan or student finance. To find out whether they are entitled to a form of financial support, it is useful to check the website of DUO.nl

This invoice includes the required amount for ‘living expenses’ of € 13.600 and the tuition fees. This proof of having sufficient means is required by the Dutch Immigration Services (IND). Once they have arrived in The Netherlands and have opened a Dutch bank account HZ will transfer the amount of € 13.600 back to their account (if necessary, the cost of accommodation will be deducted if they choose this option and rent a room through housing corporation APV).
