Tips for this grant
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Official RIF announcement and open-calls page checked 6 September 2026. RIF states a EUR 700,000 call budget, maximum EUR 35,000 per eligible LKTO, aid intensity up to 50%, and an open period through 17 December 2026 or until available budget is exhausted. No closing clock/timezone is stated for CAP-ENHANCE, so the record uses a date-only deadline.
