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.
About the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship & Its Sponsors
The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship is funded by the European Union (EU) under the Erasmus+ Programme—an initiative established to promote academic mobility, international cooperation, and educational excellence across the world.
The scholarship is administered by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), an arm of the European Commission, which oversees programs in education, culture, youth, and sport.
Since its inception, Erasmus+ has transformed over 10 million lives through its education and mobility programs.
In short: It’s not just a scholarship. It’s the EU’s global investment in young minds—like yours.
