Tuition Fee and Scholarships
The admission fee for the SAHC programme is 8000 Euro. By decision of the European Commission, students holding an Erasmus Mundus Category B scholarship are waived by 50%.
Three types of scholarships are made available.
Category A scholarships, currently of 24000 Euro, are available to third-country applicants applying within the 1st Call. These Erasmus Mundus scholarships are directly sponsored by the European Commission, under the scope of Erasmus Mundus Programme.
Please note that, within the 2010/2011 regional "Western Balkans and Turkey Window", students from Western Balkan countries and Turkey can apply for an Erasmus Mundus Category A scholarship.
Category B scholarships, currently of 10000 Euro (with a tuition fee waiver of 50%), are available to students not eligible to the Category A scholarship applying within the 2nd Call. Non third-country students which have applied during the 1st call are automatically considered within this call. These Erasmus Mundus scholarships are directly sponsored by the European Commission, under the scope of Erasmus Mundus Programme.
Also, a number of Consortium Scholarships are planned for students from any geographical origin. These scholarships are financed by the SAHC Consortium itself and are open to students of any nationality. However, non-third-country nationals will have a higher chance of being selected. These Consortium Scholarships are divided as follows:
· One to two scholarships of 14000 Euro
· Eight scholarships of 6400 Euro
· Ten scholarships of 4000 Euro
In addition to Consortium Scholarships, European Union students (not going to Czech Technical University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic) might be eligible for a possible LLP/Erasmus mobility grant, depending on the number of grants available.
Any selected applicant must bear in mind that, if selected to a scholarship, the confirmation of acceptance of the scholarship by the student implies automatically that other interested applicants will not receive a scholarship, as the number of applicants is larger than the number of grants.
Therefore, the SAHC Consortium will request to all students selected for a scholarship the payment of a non-reimbursable deposit (100 Euro for non-European students and 250 Euro for European students) to confirm their acceptance of the scholarship and enrolment in the Master Course. This deposit will be deduced to the tuition fee, once the course starts. The only purpose of this measure is to avoid filling up the MSc places with students that will not finally participate and that will compromise the enrolment of other interested students.
Third-country nationals eligible for an Erasmus Mundus Category A scholarship are nationals coming from all countries other than:
- the 27 EU Member States
- the EEA-EFTA states (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway)
- Turkey
- Western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo under UNSC Resolution
1244/99, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia) and
- Switzerland
who are not residents of any of the above countries, and who have not carried out their main activities (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the above countries.
European and non-eligible third-country students are considered eligible for a Erasmus Mundus Category B scholarship.
