• In order to be granted the ESP Scholarship, members fulfilling the Scholarship eligibility criteria must also meet the other criteria set out by the Steering Committee of the EMMP.
• As the number of ESP Scholarships devoted to the EMMP programme is limited, the process of selecting the ESP Scholarship Awardees is highly competitive.
• Being successfully accepted in the EMMP programme is a requirement for the ESP Scholarship to be awarded.
• For each Scholarship awardee ESP will provide a financial support of up to 5,000 Euro for the duration of the 2-year Master. The amount per awardee will be decided by the evaluation committee.
