Should I apply for a “Programme country” or “Partner country” scholarship? Whether you are eligible for Programme countriy or Partner Country depends on your nationality, and your place of residence.
Generally speaking, “Programme country” scholarships target students who are nationals or residents since at least 12 months in Europe, while “Partner country” scholarships target students from all other countriesand who do not reside in Europe more than 12 months during the last five years.More in details, you are eligible for a “Programme country” scholarship if your are a national of a country which isone of the European Union’s 28 members states, Iceland, Norway, Liechstenstein, Switzerland, Turkey or the Former Yougoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). Or if you have a “Partner Country” nationality who resides or has been carried out your main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in a “Programme Country”, you will be considered as a Programme Country student. The five-year reference period for this « 12-month rule » is calculated backwards as from the submission deadline (January 6, 2016) of applying for the Erasmus Mundus student scholarship.You are eligible for a “Partner country” scholarship ifyou are a national from all the other countries and that you do not reside nor carry out your main activity for a total of 12 months over the last five years in a “Programme Country” (see the Scholarship page for financial details).
