Hi everyone,

I’m new to Reddit, and this is actually my first post, so apologies if I’m missing anything. I will be applying later this year to the International Master in Security, Intelligence and Strategic Studies (IMSISS) scholarship of Erasmus Mundus, and I wanted to ask for advice from people who have applied before or received Erasmus Mundus scholarships.

A bit about my background:

Bachelor’s degree in International Relations
GPA: 4.3/5.0 on a 0–5 grading scale, where 3.0/5.0 is the passing grade
Two publications, including one in a diplomatic/international affairs journal
2nd place in a national essay competition organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Several years of experience working with NGOs and policy-oriented organizations, mainly in advocacy, education, and food security.
Bilingual in Spanish and English

I know this is probably a bit vague, but I tried to summarize everything as best as I could. I’d really appreciate any advice on the Erasmus Mundus scholarship application process, especially around the personal statement, interviews, recommendation letters, or anything applicants commonly underestimate.

Thanks in advance!!!
