The EACEA EC Europa EU Scholarships help students pay for their Master's degree in Europe.
These scholarships are for certain Master's programs called Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJMDs). These programs are special because they're run by a group of universities from different European countries, giving students an international learning experience.
Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees (EMJMDs)
EMJMDs are unique because students study in at least two European countries. This helps them get a well-rounded education with an international focus.
Eligibility for Erasmus Mundus Scholarships
Who can get these scholarships depends on where you're from. Generally, they're for students from countries outside the European Union (EU) and some partner countries. Sometimes, EU students can get these scholarships too.
Scholarship Benefits and Funding Amounts
These scholarships usually cover a big part of your tuition fees and living costs. The exact amount changes depending on the program and where you're from. Scholarships might include:
- Money every month to help with living costs

- Money to help with travel
- Insurance
How to Apply for an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship
