200 Nigerians Win 2022 Erasmus Plus Scholarship: The European Union ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Samuela Isopi, said at a conference in Abuja that over 200 Nigerians were awarded the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.

This scholarship allows Nigerians to study in the fields of technology, robotics, agriculture, public health, and disaster management in ten European universities. The European Union ambassador said there are plans for more courses to be added that will target the specific needs of female students so as to have more women participating in the scholarship program.

Ever since the programme was introduced to Nigeria in 2014, 730 Nigerians have benefitted from it, making Nigeria the second nation to have most of its citizens utilise the scholarship. While the selection process is rigorous and competitive, a scholarship is not unattainable.

MEDIANGR earlier reported on the scholarship, pointing out that it is open to everyone with a first degree, and even students that haven’t graduated yet but are about to.

What they are saying

  • EU ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Samuela Isopi, said “The selection has been made on the pure basis of merit, and since Nigeria is the second country in the world now in terms of a number of awardees, this means really that the quality of the Nigerian students that have been candidates that have been selected is really very good.
  • Esme Stuart, the Human Rights, Gender and Youth programme manager of the European Commission added that, “The selection process of the Erasmus students goes through annual application rounds. So, every year we’ll do the same just as we are promoting the number of awardees that we have, in October, we will start promoting the opening of the new application round for students that will be traveling to their countries next year.”
  • Juan Reus, the head of the embassy of Spain in Abuja also talked about the fields of study that this year’s students have applied to.
  • “We will be studying in more than 10 universities in Spain in different fields, especially in robotics and technology, agriculture, public health, natural disasters management, among others which just shows the diversity of interest that Nigerian students have.” Juan Reus said.
