Different Types of EMJMD Scholarships:
There are two different EMMC scholarships that can be awarded to master’s students:
Category A scholarships: they can be awarded to master students coming from a thirdcountry, not a resident of any of the 27 European union member states, Iceland, Norway or Liechtenstein, nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training, or work) for more than 12 months over the last five years in one of these countries, and who are selected by EMMC consortia.
Category B scholarships can be awarded to European master’s students and any other nonEuropean master’s student selected by EMMC but who do not fulfill the Category A criteria defined above.
If a student fulfills the eligibility criteria for both categories A and B (a student with double nationality for example) he should select a category, as they have the right to only benefit from one category of scholarship
