Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto - ESEP Merit Award

ESEP Merit Award

You will receive a one-off payment of about 4,100 EUR for the academic year 2024/25. Under Portuguese law, the amount of the scholarship is five times the national minimum monthly wage at the start of the year, meaning that the exact amount changes each year. You will receive it as a one-off payment by the end of the month following the announcement of the results. The award is presented by the Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto (ESEP), the nursing school which is now part of the Universidade do Porto, and is given to its best students.
