Scholarships

   Indian students and staff receiving scholarships from the European Union (EU) saw a sharp uptick, with 23% more being awarded the Erasmus+ Scholarship and mobility grants this year. More than 50,000 Indians are studying in the EU at any given point of time.

   Out of the 450 scholars, 89 Indian students--48 females and 41 males –have been awarded a fully-funded scholarship for Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree programmes, which lets students attend universities in at least two countries in Europe. India remains one of the top five third-country recipients of scholarships from EU this year as well.

       Nearly 350 students and staff from Indian higher education institutions have been selected for scholarships under Erasmus’ International Credit Mobility (ICM) programme, under which recipients can spend between 3 months to a year in a European University to obtain credits,....
