In partnership with Universities UK International (UUKi), QS MoveON is proud to announce the Stand Out scholarship. This is a new scholarship exclusively for student exchange between UK and EU universities during the calendar year 2019 and 2020.
With the uncertainty created by Brexit, this scholarship is our first step towards ensuring that UK and EU students continue to enjoy the life-changing opportunities offered by Erasmus and other exchange programs.
The winner will be selected by UUKi based on the eligibility criteria and their response to the blog.
