 Scholarships

Students who have been accepted by the MScART consortium can apply for an Erasmus Mundus Master Course scholarship within one of the following categories, provided they fulfil the eligibility criteria.

◦  Category A scholarships can be awarded to third-country masters students who come from a country other than a European country and who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in these countries.

◦  Category B scholarships can be awarded to European masters students as well as to any masters students selected by MScART consortium who do not fulfil the Category A criteria defined above.

 Students with a double nationality must select the Category of their choice. As a result, they are entitled to apply only to one of the two categories of scholarship at a time.

Eligibility criteria

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

◦  Students benefiting from an EMMC scholarship cannot benefit from another EU grant while pursuing their Erasmus masters studies.

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