The selection committee ranks the top 30 to 40 applications. The first 13 to 15 applicants for E+ scholarships are placed in the MAIN LIST for a particular track. Separately, self-funding students are also selected.
Candidates that are not selected by the selection committee are notified by email before 15. February of the year following the deadline for applications.
Candidates placed on the MAIN LIST are invited for an interview by means of a teleconference by a member of the selection committee or by the coordinator. If confirmed, they are provisionally offered an E+ scholarship, which is subject to the submission of the full application package within the timeframe suggested in the letter of acceptance (about 8 weeks), and the approval of the EACEA, i.e. the EU agency providing the scholarships.
The remaining candidates that are selected, but not offered a scholarship because of their lower ranking, are placed on the RESERVE LIST. Candidates on this list might be offered an E+ scholarship if a numner of pre-defined candidates on the main list drops out, or fails to provide a complete application package before the deadline.
Candidates that are on the RESERVE LIST and have (also) expressed their intention to register as self-funding students in case they are not awarded an E+ scholarship are offered a place in the programme as self-funding students [Note that students with other scholarships than the E+ Scholarship are considered self-funding students].
The full application package required for students on the main list (and, if notified, from students on the reserve list) must be sent by post to the following address:
