The scholarship is open to nationals from specific countries within the MENA and Horn of Africa regions, the Sahel, and Small Island Development States. Eligibility requires academic admission to the MSc Programme in Water and Sustainable Development. Priority is given to female candidates, and applicants must demonstrate strong motivation by answering five motivation questions in their online application.
To apply for the scholarship, eligible candidates do not need to complete a separate application form. Instead, they are automatically considered for the scholarship after applying for admission and receiving their academic admission letter. It’s advised for interested candidates from eligible countries to apply for admission as soon as possible. Additionally, proficiency in English is crucial, and applicants should sign up for an English language test if required, as it is a prerequisite for final admission and scholarship eligibility.
