Student Scholarships For Third Country Students
The Erasmus Mundus Scholarships for non-Europeans aim at strengthening European co-operation and international links in higher education by enabling students and visiting scholars from around the world to engage in postgraduate study at European universities.
In the EMLE programme, this means that each year a number of non-European students will receive a grant of 24,000 € per selected student.
For more information, please check the Application Procedure on this website.
Who is eligible?
In principle any student from a non-European country is eligible. The distinction between 'European Students' and 'Third Country Students' is made in accordance with the criteria of the European Union. For more information, please check the Application Procedure on this website.
Application procedure
Students who want to apply for an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship can indicate this on the application form for third country students.
On this form it is asked whether the student is also willing to participate in the EMLE programme if (s)he is not selected for a scholarship.
The answer to this question does not influence the chances of being selected for a scholarship, because this selection is made on the basis of academic quality of the candidate. This implies that only students of high academic quality should apply for a scholarship, because only the best students will be selected. For more information please see the section "Selection Criteria"
