33 Nepali Students Receive Full Erasmus Mundus Scholarships for Master’s Studies in Europe

Kathmandu: A total of 33 Nepali students, 17 women and 16 men, have been awarded full Erasmus Mundus scholarships to pursue two-year Master’s degrees in Europe for the 2025/26 academic year.

The prestigious Erasmus+ program, funded by the European Union (EU), allows students to study at multiple universities across Europe in a multicultural environment. The scholarship covers tuition fees, airfare, and a monthly stipend, ensuring students can fully focus on their academic goals.

With this new group, over 800 Nepali students have now benefited from the Erasmus+ program.

On July 16, the Delegation of the European Union to Nepal, in partnership with the Erasmus Mundus Association Nepal, held a pre-departure orientation for the new scholars. EU Ambassador to Nepal, Veronique Lorenzo, congratulated the students and said, “This marks the beginning of an exciting journey of learning and growth. The Erasmus scholarship is about more than academics, it builds connections and friendships between Europe and Nepal.”

She also encouraged students to return to Nepal after completing their studies and contribute to the country’s development.

The 33 students will study a wide range of subjects, including cybersecurity, engineering, agriculture, biology, food technology, and flood risk management.
