Student scholarships
The scholarship will be a contribution to the costs incurred by the beneficiary students and shall cover travel, visa, installation and subsistence costs. It is calculated based on a monthly unit cost for the entire period needed by the enrolled scholarship holder to complete the study programme (pro-rata of the actual number of days). This period covers study, research, placement activities, thesis preparation and defence, in line with the requirement of the joint Master. During this period, the scholarship can only be awarded in full, and to full-time students.
The scholarship is awarded for full-time enrolment, and will cover the entire duration of the Master programme (i.e. 12, 18, 24 months). A reduced duration of the scholarship is applicable in case of recognition of prior learning (with a minimum scholarship duration of one academic year).
Students who have previously obtained an EMJM scholarship are not eligible to apply for an additional scholarship under the EMJM.
EMJM scholarships can be offered to students from all over the world.
Calculation of the maximum scholarship per student:
The scholarship is calculated as: 1 400 Euros/month x DS
Where DS = duration of the Master programme.
Calculation of the maximum EMJM scholarship amount for the duration of the grant agreement:
The maximum scholarship amount is calculated as: 1 400 Euros/month x DR x NRS Where:
DR = max. duration in months of the Master programme (i.e. 12, 18, 24 months)
NRS = number of scholarships foreseen for the entire duration of the grant agreement (maximum 60, excluding top up scholarships for targeted regions of the world, if applicable)
Contribution to individual needs of students with disabilities
Contribution for individual needs are eligible if they fulfil the general eligibility conditions set in the grant agreement. They will be used for enrolled students (with or without scholarship) with disabilities (e.g., long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments), such as those related to the acquisition of special items or services (e.g., assistance by third persons, adaptation of work environment, additional travel/transportation costs). The support to cover such individual needs of enrolled students, will take the form of the following special needs unit costs:
(a) EUR 3 000 (b) EUR 4 500 (c) EUR 6 000 (d) EUR 9 500 (e) EUR 13 000 (f) EUR 18 500 (g) EUR 27 500 (h) EUR 35 500 (i) EUR 47 500 (j) EUR 60 000
Calculation of the unit cost contribution per student:
Enrolled students will declare what type of items/services are needed and their cost. The applicable unit cost will be identified as the rate corresponding to or immediately lower than the estimated expenses. This unit cost is a contribution, and is not intended to fully cover the actual costs.
NB: costs below the lowest rate (i.e. less than EUR 3 000) will not be eligible for additional support and will have to be covered by the contribution to the institutional costs of the EMJM or by other funding sources of the beneficiary institutions.
