Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia MEC Scholarships

At the time of writing, the 2008 MEC scholarships have not been announced. Keep checking this web site for news about the 2008 MEC scholarships.

History of the MEC Scholarships

In the first year, 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.

Eligibility Requirements for the 2007 MEC Scholarships

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 first year. VEC welcomes MEC scholarship students in 2008.
