Questions students ask

Do European programmes accept applicants from outside Europe?

Many do, and a record notes it when the funder states it. The official page linked on each record carries the full eligibility rules; check it before you apply.

How often is this page updated?

New calls are added through the week, and every record carries the date it was last verified on the funding organisation's own website. Records whose deadlines pass are closed automatically, so anything listed here was open at its last check.

Can I get deadline reminders?

Yes. The alerts box on this page sends a reminder before a deadline you choose, plus a short weekly note of new calls in your area. It is free.
