Financial support determinations will be made by the Scholarship Board, evaluating the eligibility of all applicants. The assessment will consider factors such as adherence to the application deadline, completeness of application documents, and the candidate's eligibility to enrol in the GrEnFIn Master.
Scholarship recipients will be selected based on various criteria, including their academic background and performance, professional and extracurricular experiences, motivation, proficiency in English language skills, and a letter of recommendation usually provided by a former academic supervisor or professional.
The allocation of scholarships will be based on a single ranking that involves all three tracks to enhance the merit of candidates regardless of their pathway preferences. The distribution of scholarships will be conducted separately for programme countries (Member States of the European Union and Third countries associated to the programme), partner countries (Third countries not associated to the programme), and NDICI countries, resulting in distinct ranking lists and corresponding reserve lists based on applicants’ cumulative score. Striving for geographical equity (and aspiring to achieve gender balance as much as possible within each category), the allocation aims to limit scholarships awarded to a maximum of 10% for candidates from the same nationality (except for targeted regions). If possible, an equal number of scholarships will be given to each gender in each category. The rights and obligations of the consortium, students, and scholarship holders are outlined in a Student Agreement that is signed by each student and representatives of the GrEnFIn EMJM. This ensures transparency, particularly for students with diverse academic and cultural backgrounds.
