  • Becas MAEC-AECID: A scholarship that la Agencia Española de Cooperación International offers to citizens from countries with agreements with Spain
  • Erasmus+
• Scholarships offered by the Department of Education and Professional Training: The Department of Education and Professional Training also offers many scholarship opportunities. Go check them out!

2. Scholarships offered by Spanish universities

Many Spanish universities offer scholarships to highly qualified students. These scholarships are usually not fully funded options but can be used to waive part of the tuition fees.

These scholarships are issued based on merit. Some might ask if you want to apply, and some might not. To obtain these scholarships, you should have outstanding scores in your bachelor studies, well-written personal statements, great interview performance, and relevant internship/extracurricular experiences.

Universities also tend to give scholarships based on financial needs. Or they might even hold competitions/challenges to decide who should be granted scholarships.

3. Scholarships offered by other third-party companies and associations:

Many third-party study abroad agencies, companies, or foundations sometimes also offer scholarships to qualified students. Some ideas might be:

• Programa de Formación de Becas de la Fundación Carolina
• Becas Santander: Different scholarship options are offered by Santander. Usually, each offer is linked to a specific university.
• Becas de la Asociación Universitaria Iberoameicana de Postgrado: It offers many mobility opportunities between Latin-American and Andalusian universities.
• Spanish studies abroad
• International Studies Abroad
• Study Abroad Scholarships
