The SHARE scholarship program

As student mobility plays an important role in the further internationalization and harmonization of higher education, one of SHARE’s components is a scholarship program for intra-ASEAN and ASEAN-EU mobility to test the application of credit transfer systems (ACTS and AECTS). The SHARE partner, EP-Nuffic, is implementing this scholarship program through short-term (one semester) exchange of students with scholarships. This will be done by providing approximately 500 scholarships, of which 400 scholarships are allocated for intra-ASEAN mobility and 100 scholarships for ASEAN-EU mobility.

The SHARE scholarship program offers a fully-funded, one semester exchange for undergraduate students from selected universities across the ASEAN region. EP-Nuffic will also facilitate capacity-building workshop for universities that are willing to enhance their internationalization process, student mobility and the use of the new credit transfer systems.

For the pilot batch of the scholarship program, SHARE has partnered with eight ASEAN universities to implement the scholarship program. In the third batch of the scholarship program from August to December 2017, the following universities will participate in the SHARE scholarship scheme:
