What's meaning Erasmus scholarships?

The Erasmus Mundus scholarship is awarded to students selected for attending one of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Programmes at the Master’s or Doctoral level.

Ispi made this known at the Erasmus+ Scholarship Pre-departure Orientation event in Abuja on Thursday, July 4.

According to Ispi, Nigeria has retained its number one in Africa for the sixth year, which shows that Nigerian students are among the best.

“Nigeria is the top country in Africa with the highest number of awardees this year and it is one of the top five in the world together with countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.“This once again shows that Nigeria is a country with great talents and we are very proud as the European Union that we can contribute not only to further development of that skill but to contribute through that to the development of Nigeria itself.”
