About the portal
Your gateway to scholarship opportunities
Explore how this portal connects you to scholarships in the European Higher Education Area
Portal’s objective
Our portal’s objective is to empower its users by providing a comprehensive, easy-to-use resource for finding scholarships for higher education across the 47 countries in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
This portal serves as your one-stop hub for discovering scholarships in specific EHEA countries and accessing essential tools, tips, and services to guide you in crafting a successful scholarship application.
Whether you’re beginning your search or preparing to apply, the portal simplifies the process, saving you time and helping you secure the financial support you need for your higher education journey.
The portal places a special focus on scholarships for students with fewer opportunities, ensuring they have access to the opportunities and support they need.
Portal’s target audience
The portal is designed to serve a diverse range of users, all united by a common goal: supporting students in accessing scholarships for higher education within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Our target audience includes:
High school students
High school students aspiring to enroll in higher education, eager to explore scholarship opportunities that can help them achieve their academic dreams.
Current higher education students
Current higher education students seeking financial support to continue or enhance their educational journey.
Employees of high schools and higher education institutions
Employees of high schools and higher education institutions, including administrative and academic staff, who play a vital role in guiding students toward scholarship opportunities and supporting them throughout the application process.
Higher education authorities
Higher education authorities responsible for working directly with students and offering a variety of student support services to ensure access to financial resources.
Parents and family members
Parents and family members of prospective or current students, who are actively involved in helping their children navigate the path to higher education.
Scholarships for students with fewer opportunities
Scholarships for students with fewer opportunities, ensuring they have access to the resources and support needed to pursue their educational aspirations.
Scholarships for home students
Scholarships for home students within the EHEA member states. Home students are typically residents or those with settled status in the country where the higher education institution is located, making them eligible for domestic scholarships.
The portal does not feature scholarships for international students, who are pursuing higher education in a country where they do not have residency or citizenship.
However, in some EHEA countries, students with the status of refugees, displaced persons, or individuals in refugee-like situations may be considered home students and thus eligible for domestic scholarships.
