Erasmus Mundus scholarships for students

Erasmus Mundus scholarships for students

Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available for students accepted to Mundus MAPP. The Mundus MAPP universities select candidates in a competitive process from among eligible applicants, and forward the names to the European Commission for approval under the Erasmus Mundus Programme. Please note that candidates are NOT required to apply directly to the Commission for funding (indeed this is not possible). A condition of the scholarship is acceptance to Mundus MAPP.

Candidates who are awarded an Erasmus Mundus scholarship are required to complete the entire 2-year long Mundus MAPP program, and will receive both their degrees only upon completion of the full program. Completion of year 1 alone, for instance, will not be recognized with a degree.

Eligibility for Erasmus Mundus Scholarships

There are two types of scholarship offered by the European Commission. Both categories of scholarship recipients also receive financial support from the Mundus MAPP universities in the form of partial tuition fee waivers (reduced tuition fees).

Students accepted to Mundus MAPP who DO NOT come from any of the countries listed below, 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 the countries listed below, are eligible for "Category A" scholarships:

- Member States of the European Union,
- EEA-EFTA States (Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein).

All other students accepted to Mundus MAPP are eligible for "Category B" scholarships, i.e., students who come from one the countries listed above, or have resided or conducted their main activity in one of the countries listed above for more than 12 months in the past 5 years.

The number of scholarships for each category of individuals (students from categories A and B) are determined in the autumn by the European Commission on a yearly basis, and varies between 7 and 17 students scholarships each year.

Financial conditions

The value of the scholarships is a total of € 48 000 for Category A, and € 20 000 for Category B for the duration of the programme (two academic years).

From this amount the Mundus MAPP consortium will deduct the Mundus MAPP tuition fee on the basis of a written agreement whereby the student authorizes CEU to collect the fee. The payable tuition fees will be:

€ 8,000 per academic year (16,000 total for two years) for Category A scholarship recipients; and
€ 4,000 per academic year (8,000 total for two years) for Category B scholarship recipients.

The remainder of the fee, normally € 11,000 per academic year (22,000 for two academic years), is waived by the Mundus MAPP universities for Erasmus Mundus scholarship recipients. The value of these tuition fee waivers is € 3,000 per academic year for Category A scholarship holders, and € 7,000 for Category B scholarship holders.

Applying

Candidates who wish to be considered for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship will need to indicate this in the on-line application form. No separate funding application will be necessary.

Scholarship applicants will however have to provide all relevant information for the consortium to determine scholarship category, particularly information on citizenship and residence in the past five years.

Applicants wishing to be considered for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship may apply for no more than two other Erasmus Mundus programmes in addition to Mundus MAPP. In case a student applies to more than three EM programmes he/she will be excluded from the selection for an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.
