How realistic are your chances?

As this funding is tied to a specific Master’s programme in a specific department at a Spanish university, the pool of applicants is small compared with open scholarships. If you hold the relevant degree in engineering or civil engineering, can provide two letters of recommendation from professors and can demonstrate that you have sufficient financial resources, you will fit the specific profile well and have good prospects. As places are limited, it is advisable to apply early.
