Please note that the Agency does not award scholarships for studies and/or research to individual students, researchers or scholars outside the framework of an EU programme. As a student, researcher or scholar you should apply to a specific EU programme in the field of Higher Education which could ultimately lead to the award of a grant if your application is successful.
If you wish to apply for a scholarship for studies, research or teaching in the framework of the Erasmus Mundus Programme you should address your application to:
You will find below further useful information concerning the Erasmus Mundus scholarships available through the different Actions of the programme.
Erasmus Mundus Action 1 offers full-time scholarships for Masters programmes and Doctorate programmes to students coming from any country around the world. These scholarships are exclusively awarded to students that have been selected to attend one of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Programmes at Masters or Doctorate level. Furthermore, the programme offers fellowships to scholars who wish to undertake research assignments or scholarly work in one of the selected Erasmus Mundus Programmes.
In order to benefit from an Erasmus Mundus scholarship/fellowship students and/or scholars should:

Applications for scholarships
Should you wish to apply for the academic year 2010/2011 you are advised to consult in advance the web sites of each of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Programmes that interest you. There you will find all necessary information concerning the content of the course, its structure, the scholarship amounts as well as the application and selection procedures.
Please note that each Erasmus Mundus Joint Programme defines its own selection criteria, admission procedures and deadlines.
The amount of scholarship awarded varies depending on whether the student has carried out their main activities (studies, work etc) for more than 12 months in Europe over the last 5 years or not. The programme offers full-time scholarships and/or fellowships that cover the living costs, tuition fees, travelling and insurance costs of the students.
You will find further information on the Action 1 of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Programmes in the updated version of the "frequently asked questions" (FAQs).
The Erasmus Mundus Action 2 was launched in 2006 under the name “External Cooperation Window". It offers a cooperation, development and mobility scheme in the field of higher education between European and a great variety of non European countries and regions around the world. This Action provides EU funds partnerships of EU and non-EU higher education institutions with the purpose of organising mobility of students, researchers and academic staff. The non-EU countries covered by the programme are grouped together into regional or national lots.
A call for proposals is published on a yearly basis. Each call selects new partnerships of higher education institutions that will be funded to organise mobility flows between Europe and the countries included in the respective geographical lot. Selected partnerships are responsible for awarding individual grants and scholarships. The partnership will define its own criteria and procedures for selecting students, professors, scholars etc, who will benefit from mobility grants between the countries covered by the partnership.
In June of each year, the Agency publishes on its website a list of the partnerships selected in the Call, as well as the countries covered, and the universities making up the various partnerships.
Find here the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 Partnerships
Applications for mobility
Students, researchers and academics from EU and non-EU partner countries interested in benefiting from a scholarship are invited to submit their applications directly to a selected partnership. Please remember that you can only apply to the lot where your country is included.
If your nationality does not correspond with the countries mentioned you can still contact the selected partnership to find out how to participate.
All mobility under Erasmus Mundus Action 2 shares the following characteristics:
Please note that eligibility criteria for grants and scholarships may vary from one geographic lot to another.
Students selected for scholarships under Action 1 of the Erasmus Mundus Programme in the selection years up to and including 2009 are covered by a centralised insurance scheme.
Students and doctoral candidates selected from 2010 onwards will be covered by an insurance scheme organised by the consortium or partnership itself. The Agency has set a number of minimum requirements for the insurance coverage offered by Action 1 consortia and Action 2 partnerships.
Under Action 1, a student may apply to a maximum of 3 different Masters Courses and/or Joint Doctorates per selection year.
Under Action 2 (former ECW) there is no limit on the number of applications by an individual per selection year. Under Action 2, you can apply to as many projects as you are qualified for. However, if you have already benefited from one mobility activity within one selection year, you are no longer eligible for mobility within that project during that selection year. Please also note that usually in the application it is requested to specify if you have applied to more than one programme. Of course, if selected, you can participate only in one exchange, as you can receive only one grant.
Under Action 1, a selected student may not benefit from a second scholarship to follow the same or another Erasmus Mundus Masters Course in the future. He/she may apply and be selected to take part in an Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate.
Under Action 2, a selected student/academic may not benefit from a future second scholarship in the same partnership, or for a scholarship at the same level of study (undergraduate, master, doctorate...) from a different partnership.
Europe offers a vast range of higher education courses, and scholarships from national, regional or other funds may also be available. You may be interested in exploring these other scholarship and funding opportunities by consulting the "Study in Europe" website, which provides a range of useful information for students and links to courses, universities and national agencies.
