Eligibility criteria

STUDENT CANDIDATES FOR AN EMMC SCHOLARSHIP
In order to write the letter certifying that you are eligible for the Erasmus Mundus funding, please read the information below:

• Only candidates who have applied to and have been accepted by an EMMC consortium in accordancewith its specific students' application and selection criteria, are eligible for a scholarship.

• Students can apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship to the EMMCs of their choice but the number of applications must be limited to maximum three courses.

• In order to make the programme more attractive for Third-Country nationals, the amount of the fullstudy scholarship will be higher for Third-Country master students (Category A scholarships) than for European master students Category B scholarships). More specifically:

• Category A scholarships can be awarded to masters students selected by EMMC consortia who come from a country other than an eligible applicant country and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in one of these countries.

• Category B scholarships can be awarded to any masters students selected by EMMC consortia and who do not fulfil the Category A criteria defined above.

• Scholarship candidates must have already obtained a first higher education degree or demonstrate a recognised equivalent level of learning according to national legislation and practices.

• Individuals who have already benefited from an EMMC scholarship are not eligible for a second scholarship in order to follow the same or another EMMC.

• Students benefiting from an EMMC scholarship cannot benefit from another Community grant while pursuing their Erasmus Mundus masters studies.

• EMMC students scholarships are awarded exclusively for a full-time enrolment in one of the course editions.
