The Action 2-
Scholarships is implemented through a two-step procedure:
Firstly, applicants apply to the Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses and
Erasmus Mundus Masters consortia (of higher education institutions)
select them. Applicants can apply to any of the Masters Courses
selected under the Erasmus Mundus programme. If you would like to
apply for a Scholarship, please see the list of selected Master
Courses and consult the Coordinator directly. Each Selected Master
Course has a ?project fiche? with respective details and contact
persons, please consult the following website:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/programmes/mundus/projects/index_en.html
Secondly, on the basis of this selection, Erasmus Mundus Masters
consortia apply to the Commission for scholarships for the selected
persons by proposing a list of potential grantees, including a
reserve list which contains the same number of students / scholars as
proposed for selection. The Commission will agree to the award of a
specific number of scholarships; these are then paid to the
individual grantees through the Masters consortia. These two steps
will be repeated each year throughout the five-year period for which
an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course has been selected. It is
