• Partner Countries
Applicants from partner countries are eligible to apply for a Partner Country scholarship.
Partner countries are any countries not included in the list of programme countries (see list of programme countries below).
Applicants from partner countries must fulfill the requirements of the '12-month' rule' below otherwise they will be classed as Programme Country applicants.
'12-month rule'
Students whose nationality is one of the partner countries and who are not resident there or have not carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in a Programme Country (see list below) are considered as Partner Country students.
The five-year reference period for this 12-month rule is calculated backwards as from the submission deadline of 4th December 2014.
