You may know that the European Commission operates "Programme Alßan", a "high level scholarship programme" specifically addressed to Latin America offering master and doctorate scholarships with a maximum value of 1500 euros monthly (and advanced specialization scholarships with a maximum value of 2500 euros monthly). The duration of the scholarships ranges from a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 18 for specialization, 24 for master and 36 for doctorate. In all cases, the European Union's contribution cannot exceed 75% of the eligible total cost of the project.

Please consider helping to share this information more widely within Latin America and within the EU
