Scholarships

Eligibility for Scholarships:

Candidates from all over the world may apply to the Master. However, there are differences between European and Non-European candidates for scholarships.

European students may apply to a category B scholarship (11,500 euros per year) and Third-countries students may apply to a category A scholarship (24,000 euros per year).

Erasmus Mundus considers as European students:

* Students who are nationals from the 27 EU Member States (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, UK, Sweden, Bulgaria, Malta, Poland, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania)

* Students who are nationals from one of the EEA-EFTA states (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway)

* Students who have been living or have carried out their main activities (studies, work, etc.) for more than 12 months over the past five years (before the academic year starts) in any of the above listed countries.

All other students are considered as Non-European students.

Switzerland, Turkey and the Western Balkans region (i.e. Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo under UNSC Resolution 1244/99, FYRoM, Montenegro and Serbia) are considered as Third-countries since none of these countries has signed an Erasmus Mundus agreement in October 2009.

Thus, students from these countries, who are not resident nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) in EU member state, EFTA and EEA state for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years will be eligible for a Category A student scholarship. If this is not the case, they are eligible for a Category B student scholarship.

Management of the scholarships:

University of Lyon 2 will take care of the scholarships in respect to the recommendations of the European Commission. As soon as an enrolled student has established a bank account in France, he/she will receive on his/her bank account his/her allowance according to the following rough timetable:
