While all applications are evaluated equally, submitting early is highly encouraged for several clear benefits:
- Wider award availability: Most scholarship slots ̣(including the Full Scholarship) are available during this period, giving early applicants the highest chance of securing an award. If an exceptional application is identified early, the Full Scholarship may be awarded immediately.
- Stronger review opportunity: Early applications reflect good preparation and commitment, and they allow our review panel more time to read your materials carefully.
- More time to prepare: Early recipients have significantly more time to organise visa documentation, plan finances, and get ready for the programme.
How to Apply
Step 1: Read the application requirements and all terms & conditions carefully.
Step 2: Get your parent or guardian to review the programme brochure, scholarship contest scheme and sign the Parent consent form.

Terms & Conditions
- Each student may submit only ONE application.
- Scholarships apply exclusively to students who enroll in the Europe Explorers Summer Camp 2026 and cannot be transferred to other programmes.
- Scholarship values cannot be combined with other promotions, such as Early Bird or Partner discounts.
- Scholarships are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash under any circumstances.
- The scholarship does not cover additional expenses, including airfare, visa fees, travel insurance, SIM cards, optional activities, laundry, or personal spending.
- By submitting an application, students grant Verovia permission to use their essay, interview statements, or social task content for marketing and communication purposes.
- Students who are awarded a scholarship must confirm their participation by completing the registration steps, including paying a registration fee of 500 EURO*, before the required deadline. Failure to do so will result in the scholarship being withdrawn, as this confirms the student’s commitment to joining the programme.
- Students must hold a valid passport by the required date to participate in the programme. Inability to obtain or present a valid passport may affect eligibility for the camp.
*The registration fee (500 EURO) is a part of the tuition fee. The student awarded the full scholarship is also required to pay the registration fee; however, it will be refunded once the student completes the programme.
