The doors to Europe are wide open—and Erasmus Mundus is holding the key.
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Scholarship 2025 – 2026 is now accepting applications from students worldwide, including Nigeria and across Africa. This fully funded scholarship offers you the rare chance to earn a master’s degree in at least two European countries, completely tuition-free.
You’ll get paid to study, explore diverse cultures, and earn a world-class degree. If you’ve ever dreamed of living in Paris, Berlin, Madrid, or Stockholm, this is your chance to make it real.

In short: It’s not just a scholarship. It’s the EU’s global investment in young minds—like yours.
