Grants to three international students

Each year, this grant is presented to three Erasmus Mundus students who have demonstrated excellent academic skills and distinction and shown great ambitions.

 

At the celebration of the 153rd anniversary of LIFE, three Erasmus Mundus students were awarded ‘The International Grant for Natural Resource Students’; two of the students were away on study trips and therefore only William Nambiza from Tanzania was present at the anniversary where he was presented with the grant and a diploma.
