Scholarships and tuition fees
For intake 2025, the EACH programme currently offers study-places with tuition-waiver (TW) scholarships funded by the EACH consortium.
The EACH consortium will re-apply for the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) grant in February 2025, and the outcome of this proposal will be announced in summer 2025 (probably June-July). Therefore, at the time of admission, we do not yet know whether we will be able to offer EU scholarships. Thus, the programme will initially assign tuition-waiver scholarships to the top-ranking applicants of the 2025 intake. In addition, the top-ranking applicants will be offered conditional EU scholarships. If the grant application is successful, then the programme will provide the top-ranking candidates with full EU scholarships and shift the TW scholarships to candidates further down the ranking list.
The admission committee of the EACH programme will create a ranking of applicants based on their final score achieved during admission (see more information in the section Admission information). All applicants are automatically considered for the TW (and conditional EU) scholarships.
The number of TW scholarships will be announced soon.
There are also some other scholarship options available for our students:

In addition to study-places covered with TW (or possibly EU) scholarships, the EACH programme also offers tuition-fee-based study places for intake 2025.
