53 Filipinos awarded Erasmus+ scholarships by EU

Fifty-three Filipinos have been awarded the prestigious Erasmus+ scholarship by the European Union (EU) to pursue master's and doctorate degrees in various EU member states.

The EU Delegation in Manila congratulated the students, encouraging them to act as goodwill ambassadors and agents of change to strengthen the EU-Philippines partnership.

Erasmus+ scholars are also encouraged to use their experience for the benefit of the Philippines after their program.

The Erasmus+ program is structured for students to study in multiple EU member states, allowing them to gain experience from different universities and cultures.

Its structure includes at least two study periods in two countries, with one requiring to be an EU member state, leading to either a joint or multiple degree award.

The program also gives opportunities for Filipino students to experience European culture, learn European languages, and integrate into European society for one to two years.
