SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

We are happy to announce that the Ateneo de Manila has received scholarship grants under the “Erasmus Mundus Mobility with Asia” project.
Students/faculty members/researchers from Ateneo de Manila’s network of Philippine higher education institutions may apply. The following is the list of scholarships available:

1. MA/MS: 1 slot for 10 months, 1 slot for 22 months
2. Ph.D. 1 slot for 18 months

We invite your teaching staff to apply for these grants. Please check the website, http://math.unice.fr/EMMA/partners..html, for a listing of the partner universities in this scholarship program and http://math.unice.fr/EMMA/form/pdf/fieldofstudies.pdf, for the field of studies available.

Grant details and amounts are listed below:

1. All the financial support for mobility comes from the program; partner universities accept to waive registration fees for students from partner universities that enrol for at most one year (and who will have paid their tuitions fees in their home university). For longer periods abroad, the program will take care of the tuition fees.

2. For the mobility scheme each individual will receive for travel expenses 2,000•, for travel covering 5,000 to 10,000 km + Visa costs+ 75• per month for Insurance.

3. For the mobility scheme each individual will receive the following for the living expenses, and tuition fees (if applicable):




Type of mobility Monthly allowance Duration Maximum amount (excluding travel)
Master 1,000• 6-22 months 29,650•
Doctorate 1,500• 6-34 months 62,550•




For the MA/PhD academic staff applicants, it is important that you find a university in the network that is willing to accept you as a student/researcher. Part of the application process involves an exchange between the applicant and the partner universities (to help improve the chances of getting a slot in the program), so it is ideal to start the application as early as possible.

All scholarship grants should begin by September 2009, at the latest.

All applications are to be done online at http://math.unice.fr/EMMA/ and completed by February 15, 2009 to give the Ateneo de Manila time to screen applicants from its network. The Ateneo de Manila will submit a list of its nominees to the lead European university of this program.

Please complete the application form online by February 15, 2009. Please submit a copy of the completed online form to the Academic Vice President's Office cbartolome@ateneo.edu, eborromeo@ateneo.edu.
