Step 1 – Who can apply?

If you are studying or working at one of the South African partner universities at the moment you apply for the ema2sa scholarship, you belong to Target Group 1.

If you are a South African national registered at a non-partner university or with a university degree (or equal) from a non-partner institution in South Africa, you belong to Target Group 2.

Applicants (from Target Group 1 and from Target Group 2) can apply for a master’s, PhD or academic/administrative staff scholarship. Please note:

You must have the South African nationality.

 It is not allowed to apply for an ema2sa scholarship if you have studied or worked for more than 12 months in Europe during the last five years.
