  3. Hi

    The opportunity seems highly relevant and worth praise…

    Why the eligible students from the troubled country of Pakistan have been denied this opportunity?

    1. Dear Aurang,

      Different opportunities are opened to different countries. Not each opportunity can be opened to each country. If you search for other information, you will see that they are opened maybe to Pakistan, but not to some of these countries in this post. It is due to the organizers.

      Kind regards,

    1. Well, there are opportunities for Pakistanis only in Pakistan as we occasionally receive, but these are not information we can include on our website, since they are opened only to one or two countries. However, check the volunteering section in the following days; there will be something.

      Kind regards,

  9. good morning ,

    thanks

  10. Happy New Year,
    This is Andry from Madagascar. I do appreciate such initiative, as for my country, such courses is highly important, in adequation with the on going Development projects in my country. Also it is a good thing this did not pass by our Gouvernment, but directly to the Belgium host University. Actually, if it passed through our gouvernment, certainly they managed, somehow, to put unqualified person in the list, and even replace the qualified ones, as they have the power. Poor mentality.
    So again thank you very much for the initiative.

    1. Dear Ksenia,

      Belarus is not among the eligible countries. Follow our website and for sure you will find some scholarships which are fitting for you.

      Kind regards,
      Mladiinfo team
