Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia MEC Scholarships

In early 2007, the Ministry of Education and Science ( Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia, or MEC ) in Madrid, Spain offered scholarships to study English overseas. Each scholarship was for a maximum of 1,600 Euros. A total of 53,125 scholarships were offered to students in Spain. The MEC scholarships were specifically for students in English language courses overseas.

To be eligible for MEC scholarships, students were required to also be registered in university programs in Spain. MEC scholarship applicants were also required to be between the ages of 18 and 30 years. Scholarship students were allowed to study in: Australia, Canada, the United States, Malta, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the Republic of Ireland.

The MEC scholarships were well received by the students. Consequently, many Spanish students studied English overseas in the 2007. At the time of writing, the 2008 MEC scholarships have not been announced.
