Good news sa mga Pinoy na nagbabalak ng umalis ng bansa, mag-inarte sa Europa, at kumain ng tinapay...Erasmus+ funding will be increased! Among the implications is an additional amount in the monthly allowance. Apply na and raise the Philippine flag here ❤️

First step is to check which #Erasmus program suits you best (that means your academic, professional, and personal background)

Check out the list here: eacea.ec.europa.eu/scholarships/e…

Once you’ve decided (you can apply for up to three programs!), start collating your academic requirements and other documents (ie IELTS, birth cert etc.). Suriin mo maigi yung program na applyan mo, part ng Erasmus journey yung mangarap saan ka pupunta at mag-aaral.

Be aware of the deadlines! Most programs close in either December or January. Yung iba nga mas maaga tulad ng November pero meron din na late like February. Una ka man magsubmit o pinakahuli, basta pasok sa deadline walang problema. It won’t affect your chances of getting in.

Unique ang application process ng bawat program. Ibig sabihin yung iba mas maraming hinahanap, mas mahigpit (may recommendation letters na hanggang tatlo, may mataas na IELTS score). Yung iba naman mas maluwag (walang interview, di gaano strikto sa grade nung bachelors, etc.)

It begins with a dream...then take action! Hindi gagalaw ang pangarap mo para sayo, be proactive in getting that scholarship!

Malaking sakripisyo ang iiwan mo sa Pinas (kung established na career mo) kaya consider this too.

In our batch (2020), 66 Filipinos got the full scholarship. Usually nasa 15,000+ nagaapply taon taon sa buong mundo. Pero alam ko na maraming Pinoy na mahusay, kung nagawa namin kaya niyo rin!

Pag nakapasa ka, meet us here! Ang advantage ng Schengen visa you can cross borders fairly easily.

One last thing, wag kang aalis ng Pinas hangga’t walang closure sa huli mong relasyon haha. Mahirap yan. LDR is real.
