Second Call:
The second call is opened to all students.

The deadline of the 2nd call is due by May 20, 2021. All applications submitted within this deadline are automatically considered also as applications to a Consortium scholarship. Please note that students which have applied during the first call can also be considered within the second call if they inform the SAHC Consortium about it.

All applicants are notified about admission during May. Afterwards, the selected students for a Consortium Scholarship are notified by June 10. Any possible remaining Consortium scholarship will be made available for the third call.

Third Call:

Consortium Scholarships

SAHC ran for ten consecutive years as an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. In that period, SAHC received more than 300 students from more than 60 countries worldwide.

SAHC has reached its maturity and is now running as a self-sustainable Masters Course, with scholarships sponsored by the SAHC Consortium.

Consortium scholarships are planned for students from any geographical origin applying within the first call and second call. These scholarships are financed by the SAHC Consortium itself and are open to students of any nationality.Consortium scholarships are organized as follows:

  –    two scholarships of 13,000 Euro
  –    eight scholarships of 6,000 Euro
  –    ten scholarships of 4,000 Euro

Deposit

Any selected applicant must bear in mind that, if selected to a scholarship, the confirmation of acceptance of the scholarship by the student implies automatically that other interested applicants will not receive a scholarship, as the number of applicants is much larger than the number of grants. Therefore, the SAHC Consortium will request to all students selected for a scholarship the payment of a deposit of 250 Euro to confirm their acceptance of the scholarship and enrolment in the Master Course. The purpose of this measure is to avoid filling up the Master Course places with students that will not finally participate and that will compromise the enrolment of other interested students.

Important Notice

  –    Only students who have applied to and have been accepted by the SAHC Consortium in accordance with its specific students’ application and selection criteria, are eligible for a scholarship.

  –    Students with a double nationality must specify the nationality under which they submit their application.
