Students and staff members from all universities in the Avempace partnership from the EU, Jordan and Syria can apply for scholarships. The Avempace Scholarships are designed for:

• Students and staff members and graduates from Jordan and Syria wanting to study at an EU university.
• Students and staff members from EU partner universities wanting to study at a Jordanian or Syrian partner university.

Neither European, Jordanian nor Syrian candidates can benefit from a second scholarship for the same type of mobility under another project under the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 - Strand 1. Furthermore, candidates cannot benefit from more than one mobility activity with the same project.
