Category A scholarships, funded by the European Commission, are available for highly qualified third-country graduate students and scholars – to students to follow the EMIN Erasmus Mundus Masters Course, to scholars to carry out teaching and research assignments and scholarly work in the institutions participating in the Course.
Category B scholarships, also funded by the European Commission, are available for highly qualified graduate students not eligible for Category A – also to follow the EMIN Erasmus Mundus Masters Course.
Students and scholars must apply to the EMIN Erasmus Mundus Masters Course. If they are accepted to participate, the EMIN Erasmus Mundus consortia apply to the Commission for the corresponding scholarship funds.
According to the European Commission rules, students shall not apply to more than three Erasmus Mundus Masters at the same call. So they have to select only three courses of their convenience at a time

When selecting students and scholars for scholarships, our Masters Program will pay due respect to the principle of gender equality. Furthermore, we should have a pro-active attitude towards potential grantees with special needs.
Without prejudice to the respect of high academic standards, in order to ensure a geographical balance across third-country students / scholars, the EMIN Masters Course will respect the following basic criteria when selecting third-country students / scholars:
 no more than 2 of the selected third-country students should come from the same country.
