Did you know that millions of international students come to Europe every year for higher education? Students from all over the world enroll in diploma, bachelor's, master's, PhD, and postdoctoral programs at European universities. Europe offers one of the largest scholarship programs funded by the European Commission—the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. Studying and living in Europe is generally more affordable compared to the USA, Australia, the UK, and Canada. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of scholarships available at European universities for the 2025-26 academic year. Each scholarship has its own requirements, benefits, and application process. With each scholarship, I’ve included a link for more information and to apply.
