Of course, 75% of the scholarships are awarded to partner countries, while the rest are awarded to program countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, the results were announced at the end of March By the way, I saw on their official Reddit page that they have a total of 22-24 scholarships this year ?

I have no idea what scholarship winners usually have as a background. I looked on LinkedIn and it seems that they come from different disciplines and professional backgrounds, but I am curious to know what kind of criteria they follow when evaluating, or at least the points they dedicate to each criteria. Their assessment is very vague compared to other programs, so it is hard to know what they are really looking for in an applicant. Have you got a conditional/unconditional offer from Eurosud?

I also looked at LinkedIn. They had a mix of experiences. I got an acceptance from Glasgow as well in January but god knows what's gonna happen with the scholarships decisions. Also their criteria is written on their website, they use a point system. Publications and languages help a lot as well as like if the applicant has an exchange program experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdcastillo Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Can I ask where you're from? I'm from the Philippines, I know a few people who've gotten scholarships so I might ask for advice as well this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
