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 checked 6 September 2026. It lists a EUR 1.53 million call budget, EUR 20,000 minimum and EUR 100,000 maximum project funding, and a deadline of 10 November 2026 at 13:00 or earlier if the budget is exhausted. The page does not explicitly state the closing timezone, so this record preserves a date-only deadline.
