Q: Can citizens of Croatia and FYR Macedonia receive Erasmus Mundus scholarships?

A: Croatia and Macedonia are EU candidate countries and thus their nationals are not eligible for general Erasmus Mundus scholarships.

It is, however, not known yet, if this is to be extended over 2009-2011 period.

Q: I come from a third country but I already study in Europe. Can I apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
