When selecting candidates for the Main List of Erasmus Mundus candidates there can be not more than two candidates from the same nationality in the Main Lists.

If  there  are  more  than  2,  the  third  (fourth,  etc.)  candidate  from  country  “X”  will  have  to  be  placed  on  the  reserve  list  even  if  his/her   merits  are  higher  than  the  following  candidate  on  the  ranking  list.  

If  a  consortium  cannot  fill  in  the  quota  of  available  scholarships  because   of  the  geographical  balance  constraint  (i.e.  not  sufficient  candidates  available),  it  can  exceptionally  add  more  than  two  candidates  from   the  same  nationality  in  the  main  list,  but  the  Agency  reserves  the  right  to  remove  these  students  from  the  main  list  during  the  selection   process.
