As many as 75 Filipino students will be able to pursue their education dreams in EU member-countries after bagging scholarships under the Erasmus Programme.
The programme will allow them to pursue Master’s and Ph.D courses in the bloc’s universities.
This was part of the efforts of the Delegation of the European Union (EU) and the government of Japan in giving Filipino scholars the rare opportunity to fulfill their academic aspirations abroad.
Ambassador Luc Véron congratulated the Erasmus+ scholars and “urged them to become envoys themselves of goodwill and agents of change” to strengthen the partnership between the EU and the Philippines. He also encouraged the students to work for the country after they had finished the program in the union.
Véron said that the Philippines has repeatedly ranked as one of the countries with the highest number of Erasmus+ scholars.
