What is the second scholarship declaration?

gennaio 24, 2013 in DOCUMENTS TO BE UPLOADED, FAQ

The second scholarship declaration attests that you have not been provided by an Erasmus Mundus Action 2 scholarship in the past.

According to the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 programme guide:

Neither European nor third-country students can benefit from a second scholarship for the same type of mobility under another project under the EMA2-STRAND1.

This rule does not apply to Staff candidates. Furthermore, staff candidates cannot benefit from more than one mobility activity within the same project.
