EMJMD scholarship eligibility
 
A limited number of full scholarships (enrolment fee + travel & installation lumps sum + monthly allowance) are available for the top-ranked students. The distribution of 'programme country' and 'partner country' students obeys the rule specified here.
Students who have previously obtained an EMJMD scholarship or an Erasmus Mundus Master Course/Joint Doctorate scholarship are not eligible to apply for an additional scholarship under the EMJMD action. EMJMD scholarship holders cannot benefit from another EU funded scholarship scheme to follow the same EMJMD course and this for the entire period of the course.
​
​
Selection procedure:

​

The deadline to apply to the FUSION-EP programme and to an EMJMD scholarship is generally around January. The candidates are evaluated by the FUSION-EP Steering Committee by late February / early March. Applications are accepted, put on a reserve list for scholarship or on a waiting list or rejected. The candidates will be informed about the decision by email. The candidates on the reserve list are automatically admitted without scholarship. In case a candidate accepted for a scholarship decides not to join the programme, the top candidate on the reserve list will be proposed his/her scholarship. This will be done for each resigning candidate.

​

A second selection round may be organized for candidates not applying for an EMJMD scholarship. If such a campaign is opened, the deadline for the application is in May. Candidates will be informed about the selection decision by email by end of June / beginning of July.

​

Selected candidates must confirm their participation within one week of the notification. They must start the registration procedure at their host University with the help of the local coordinator.

​

Rejected candidates can appeal in the next 14 days after notification.
