Arronches Municipality - Higher Education Scholarship for students living in Arronches

What you get

You receive 194 EUR per month for 30 months to help cover the cost of studying at a higher level. The money comes from the Arronches Municipality (Câmara Municipal de Arronches) in Portugal, which supports young people from the area who cannot fund their studies alone. Each year it awards up to 50 scholarships for students in a Licenciatura (bachelor's) or Mestrado (master's) programme, plus up to 10 for students in a CTeSP (Curso Técnico Superior Profissional, a higher professional technical course). Both universities and polytechnics count.
