Eligible Countries
Important Country Warning
Nigeria is not currently included on the official ARES 2027–2028 eligible-country list.
Do not assume that holding citizenship of an eligible country alone automatically establishes eligibility. Applicants should complete the official ARES eligibility check and confirm the residence and employment requirements before preparing an application.
Available Training Categories
ARES International Training Scholarships support selected programmes that may include:
* Specialized bachelor's programs
* Specialized master's programs
* Continuing-education/professional training programs
Applicants must select an eligible program under the 2027–2028 ARES call.
Scholarship Benefits
* International travel expenses
* Subsistence/living allowance
* Insurance costs
* Eligible visa-related costs
* Tuition fees for qualifying specialised Bachelor's and specialised Master's programmes
* Programme-specific support for continuing education
* Certain exceptional expenses according to ARES rules
The exact financial package depends on the training category and ARES funding rules.
Professional Experience
ARES requires applicants to demonstrate at least two years of relevant professional experience under the conditions specified in the scholarship call.
Applicants should therefore not treat this primarily as a scholarship aimed at fresh graduates with no professional background.
Required Documents
Applicants will need to provide information and supporting evidence required by the official ARES/GIRAF application.
Because document requirements may vary by programme and applicant profile, applicants should follow the checklist displayed inside their official application.
TripDoc does not recommend relying on unofficial document lists.
