Scholarships for studying abroad in Spain

Many students wish to study in Spain, but are sometimes scared by the cost of living that might occur. Of course, you can earn extra money by working, doing internships, or tutoring while studying in Spain. But don't forget, there are many scholarship opportunities as well!

 

Here in this article, we will introduce some of the best scholarship opportunities in Spain.

 

1. Scholarships given by the government

 

The Spanish government offers scholarship opportunities to international students with different profiles and qualifications. Some examples are:

 

• Scholarships recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs:
  • 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 Profesional 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 as a discount could waive part of the tuition fees.

 

These scholarships are issued based on merit. Some might ask if you want to apply to it, 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, 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 offered by Santander. Usually, each offer is linked with 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

 

4. One reminder:

If you need a student visa, don't forget that one of the necessary documents is medical insurance that fulfills all the visa requirements. Here in innoinsure, the international office of Adeslas, we want to offer you the best valued medical insurance that fulfills all requirements of a Spanish student visa and NIE/TIE requirements.
