Where a date belongs to university admission rather than a scholarship, treat those as different processes. An admission offer is not itself confirmation of a scholarship award.

How to apply

Find a relevant CGIAR++ research project, contact potential supervisors, agree on the joint proposal, gather academic records and references, and follow the organiser's application instructions.

Open the official university or programme website and select the relevant intake.
Read the eligibility, documents, language and funding terms in full.
Check the deadline and time zone before submitting.
Keep a copy of your application and watch for messages from the organiser.

Important checks before you apply

The €25,000 research amount is requestable, not an automatic award. The public description does not establish blanket tuition, travel and insurance coverage.

Verify funding, eligibility and deadlines directly with the organiser. Never pay an unofficial agent to secure an award or assume a scholarship is guaranteed.
