Guidelines for applicants
This document contains detailed information about the application procedure. We strongly advise you to read it before starting to fill in the Application Form.
Application Form
Application - Word version (.doc)
This form expects to be an easy and simple way to prepare your application, allowing you to introduce progressively the details and information required.
You must start creating your application form by setting your USER and your PASSWORD. From the beginning, you have to choose the type of scholarship for which you want to receive the support of the Programme.
The Application Form can be filled in English, Portuguese or Spanish. However, the language used to fill in the application form must agree with the institution(s) and programme(s) chosen. Being so, for instance, if you intend to apply only to Spanish speaking institutions, you may fill in the Application Form and attach all the required documents in Spanish. Nevertheless, in case you intend to apply to institutions from 3 different countries (where different languages are used), we strongly recommend the use of the English language to fill in the form, as well as in all the attached documents, so that all the host institutions may be able to analyse the submitted proposal.
Before starting to fill in the Application Form, you must be sure of having all the certificates and language skills required to attend the sought programme(s) and the institution(s). We also strongly advise you to read the Guidelines for Applicants and the FAQs before starting.
If an applicant submits more than one application, the system will automatically consider the most recent one.
