There are three types of EMPM virtual scholarships. 

1. Virtual To-Up scholarship. This is a transfer degree programme for those who need to complete their bachelor’s or master’s to obtain a degree.  
2. Virtual Global Opportunities (Micro-credentials). This is a short course (non-degree) for those who need to upskill.  
3. Virtual Global Opportunities (Virtual Internships). The internships are for recent graduates and young professionals who want to gain job experience.

Call for Applications for EMPM Batch 2 Virtual Scholarship is now closed

Successful applicants will be announced in late July 2024.

EMPM does not require applicants to submit their transcripts to apply for the scholarship. The universities usually request the transcript to issue a letter of admission. Please consult with the university for your particular case.

It is the applicant’s choice to apply/ get a LoA from more than one university. However, you can only submit ONE LoA/ notification letter from your chosen university. 

Candidates can only receive a scholarship from EMPM. Receiving other funding will lead to the termination of the EMPM scholarship.
