Other Exchange Programmes

Scholarships

ESN is an association initially aimed to help students moving across Europe for Erasmus program, but now it has widened its point of view, giving help to mobility students from everywhere and participating to every program. Here we tried to provide you a short list of the hundreds of possible scholarships beyond Erasmus, including several websites offering advice and similar services.

Please, notice that we are not granting these scholarships, nor we have any possibility to fund your studies abroad: we are just trying to give you an overview of possibilities. However, as many students from outside Europe ask us for information, this constitutes an important FAQ for those not involved in the Erasmus Program.
