For the year 2011-2013, there are 9 scholarships available for third country students, 7 scholarships for students from the EU/EEA-EFTA states and 1 scholarship for students from the area of Western Balkans and Turkey.
Category A scholarships. A Category A scholarship may be awarded to third country nationals, who are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training, work) for more than a total of 12 months in an EU-EEA country. The category A scholarship amounts to a monthly allowance of 1000€ per month which equals 12000€ per year for two years. In addition the students will receive a contribution to travel and installation costs at the beginning of each school year of 4000€, coming to a total of 8000€ for the two-year course. The tuition fees will be covered by the scholarship.
Category B scholarships. A Category B scholarship may be awarded to students from the EU-EEA area, as well as third country students who has been residing in the EU-EEA area for more than 12 months within the last five years. The scholarship amounts to 500€ per month/6000€ per year for two years, plus coverage of tuition fees. Category B students will not be awarded travel and installation costs.
The scholarships for the EU-EEA students should not be considered as a full scholarship, but rather as a contribution. Students are allowed and encouraged to also have other sources of funding (e.g. student loands, other scholarships\grants from their home countries).
It is not possible to apply for a scholarship without a place on IMEC. Once you have been accepted to as a student on IMEC, the IMEC consortia will apply for a scholarship on your behalf.
The IMEC consortia can also admit students who do not receive scholarships. There students must have funding from elsewhere to cover the tuition fees.
