  1. Can I apply for EmileBoutmi scholarship in advance of my admission to master course(to do it afterwards). If I am eligible (and have enough chances to succeed in) to apply if I graduated the doctoral studies in the end of 2010 and expecting the thesis defence (it is also general question for any relative master phd apps). What should be the proof of income if I have now job (I am from former USSR).

    1. Hi And,

      `Eligible students are those from a non-European Union state, whose household does not file taxes within the European Union, and who have been admitted to the Undergraduate or Master's programme.`
      `Students who are not-eligible are dual-degree students and Third-year Ph.D. programme students (thesis). `
      – Proof of income and documents explaining your family situation
      (e.g. income tax declaration for both parents, payslips, divorce certificate, unemployment benefit, allowance or pension documents, death certificate, etc.). Please make sure to provide a translation of all documents into English or French (you may translate it yourself if needs be).

      Good luck!

  2. I had question in the whole if it generally eligible and possible to apply for master course during or after the doctoral studies for example in adjacent field of knowledge, meantine having bachellour and master in initial field of study. Taking into account the announcement of stipend I understand it is possible during the doctoral studies because here is limitation for 3-rd (last) year of Phd (or this limitation is more due to the finishing the thesis itself). Then what about 1-st,2-nd year, and period after finishing the doctoral study (should last case considered only in the light of Post-doc). How I can be admitted to master course without the scholarship itself or another proof of securing tuition and living expenses or it is general practice in EU to have admission i.e. acceptance letter by reference to the possible succesful scholarship in the future. I would not like to be angered with me but I have one important question else. If I could not produce the TOEFL or IELTS certificate due to expensiveness of this test in my country for general level of income can I submit the assurance of my english language abilities by my university teacher as the substitute for this requirement (what is percentage of such possibility in average).

    1. Hello, And,

      Just to inform you: the deadline of this scholarship is over.
      (Deadline: 21 February 2011)
      Other questions (please, try to write your questions clearly, it is difficult to make my way through the text in one paragraph):
      1. As long as you meet the requirements for most of the Master's degree scholarships (which is usually the Bachelor's degree), you can apply for the Master's studies even when you are a professor (however, there is usually an age limit).
      2. In some cases, you need to prove that you have been admitted to the university, otherwise, how can some public body grant you a scholarship: what would you be getting it for?
      3. TOEFL and IELTS tests are a standardized tool to evaluate your level of English; the respective scholarship-granting authorities (or the university) need a very objective proof of your English skills, which, your university teacher's assurance, I am afraid, does not seem to be.

      Wishing you good luck in the future,

  3. To end my questions at least preliminary I am dare to ask one more question despite all passed deadlines of this scholarship. It has some correlation to this stipend. What about the second higher education. For example despite my master and doctoral studies in social science I received degree of SPECIALIST in economics. It studies lasted 2,5 years part-time. It is considered in Ukraine the full higher education and officially this diploma is called the diploma on Repreparedness (Requalification). It includes all necesarry special subjects of particular discipline as it was at usual bachelor and master studies but without passed on first education certain and general courses that is usually common for any higher education. This Specialist degree can be equated to the bachelor degree as it also give the right for entering the master studies. Despite in the first higher education Specialist degree is received by the major part of bachelor graduates with worth academic results because minor better part are going to master degree. But in requalification diploma is targeted only for specialist not master degree. Thus second education doesnt targeted for worst level of studies despite influenced by the higher age of student and the mode of learning parttime. At least it comprise the same level of academic abilities of students. For example at my academic group (25 persons) there was another doctoral student but from math science. So my question can I apply for the Emile Boutmi scholarship on the basis of specialist degree. How I can appropriately interpret and translate this diploma in the context of European System Of Education especially ECTS. (sorry for my passages it was typed on small Nokia phone in opera mini 3).

    1. Ok, And,

      I am running out of patience with you.
      You are on your way to become a PhD holder and, if you read, instead of writing novels (I am wondering how you can write such a long text typed on the phone), there is clearly written:
      These individuals are NOT eligible.
      # Dual-degree candidates
      # Third-year Ph.D. programme students (thesis)

      So, hasta la vista.

      Good luck with other scholarships.
