EU Postgraduate Scholarships

The European Union offers a number of postgraduate scholarships. The program via which they are offered is called the Erasmus Mundus. It is the official body of the European Union that deals with scholarships at postgraduate or master's levels for academies and students. It is available to students from anywhere in the world. However, the Erasmus Mundus program does not offer scholarships for any course. Instead, you have to choose from the specific Erasmus Mundus master's courses (EMMCs) available.

The European Union offers two types of scholarships: category A and category B. Category A scholarships are for third-country students, or students from all countries outside of the European Union, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Category B are for all European Union, Icelandic, Norwegian and Liechtensteiner citizens, plus residents who have studied or worked in these regions for more than 12 months.
